why is good typography on house numbers so rare
was walking through my neighborhood yesterday and started paying attention to house numbers. most of them are a mess. tiny brass digits that clash with everything. cheap plastic ones that fade after a year. some people just paint them on and call it a day.
its weird because the front of your house is like a visual statement. you pick the door color and the light fixtures and the plants. but then the numbers are just an afterthought.
i replaced mine a while ago with some that actually have decent proportions and clean lines. not perfect but at least they look like someone thought about them.
just seems like theres a gap between how much design goes into interiors vs exteriors. or maybe im overthinking it idk.
