1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8″ high.
Eric Akines on 05.17.2010 at 21:35 PM
1. No, I would like more typeface options.
2. I would not use house numbers larger than 8″.
RIck on 05.17.2010 at 09:12 AM
1) No, I’d like at least a few more choices.
2) Yes, Maybe up to 12″
Mike Wilkie on 05.17.2010 at 09:17 AM
1) The typeface selection leaves much to be desired. In particular, it would be nice to see contemporary typefaces. The current selection seems much more Moderist than modern.
2) I would only be interested in numbers larger than 8′ for commercial application, not for the home.
Amit on 05.17.2010 at 09:19 AM
No, too few typefaces
No, upto 8″ is adequate for my needs.
david renó on 05.17.2010 at 09:21 AM
1) No, I would like a few moore options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.

kate on 05.17.2010 at 09:25 AM
1. No, I would like more options in type face.
2. No, I would not be interested in numbers taller than 8″
Brian Everett on 05.17.2010 at 09:27 AM
1) No, I would think about 8 total choices would be a good start.
2) Yes. I think very large house numbers would be awesome!
Jeremy on 05.17.2010 at 09:32 AM
1) Yes; the selection is adequate. A few more choices would be welcome, but I’m personally content with the options.
2) No
tim on 05.17.2010 at 09:36 AM
1) No, the 4 typefaces offered left me wanting more of a variety of styles (modern styles)
2) Yes, if the price is affordable.
Justin Schuck on 05.17.2010 at 09:37 AM
There are definitely too few options for typeface. And some addresses have letters like \1225-B.\ It would be nice to have more options than even typeface.
I could reasonably see the need for larger than 8\ but I think that would be sufficient for my needs.
EmmaMD on 05.17.2010 at 09:53 AM
1)More than four fonts would great.
2)Of course! I can never read house numbers–they’re always too small!
shane fowler on 05.17.2010 at 10:06 AM
1 :: NO, even though the fonts are interesting, a few more options would be nice.
2 :: YES, in my opinion 8″ letters should be a minimum…big house numbers are so cool…especially if they are modern.
Dan on 05.17.2010 at 10:22 AM
1) I think that currently there are enough fonts, but more choice is never a bad thing!
2) 8″ is about as large as I’d ever need.
Tyler on 05.17.2010 at 10:24 AM
No, too few typefaces, a few more would be nice
No, upto 8? is fine.
Katie on 05.17.2010 at 10:26 AM
1. More modern typefaces please.
2. 8″ is adequate for my needs.
Carol on 05.17.2010 at 10:35 AM
No, more choices are needed
Yes, that’s big enough
Sandra Jarvis on 05.17.2010 at 10:39 AM
1) No, I’d love to see more choices on the typefaces.
2) 8″ seems to be big enough.
I would love to see the alphabet too. I’ve been looking for a W for womans restroom and M for the mens’.
ajr on 05.17.2010 at 10:47 AM
1. No
2. Yes
Denacho on 05.17.2010 at 10:48 AM
1 – no. i can never seem to find typefaces that i like
2 – no. i think 8″ would be tall enough
Mike on 05.17.2010 at 10:55 AM
1) No, not enough fonts, but I do like the SoCal font!
2) Yes, our house is a ways off the road and I would place them on something other than my house.
levi on 05.17.2010 at 11:23 AM
1. No, more fonts are needed.
2. No, 8″ is enough for my needs.
Michelle C on 05.17.2010 at 11:29 AM
1. No, the more the merrier!
2. Yes. Our house is out in the country, so big numbers would be great.
Bonnie on 05.17.2010 at 11:34 AM
1) Yes please! Right now, I feel pigeon-holed into selecting one typeface. 8 or more would be amazing!
2) Yes – purchasing larger numbers for a gate or entrance would be first on my list.
Bonnie on 05.17.2010 at 11:35 AM
Oh – I second with Sandra too on the Alphabet!
Chase on 05.17.2010 at 11:39 AM
Yes, no. Nice stuff!
lisa on 05.17.2010 at 11:42 AM
too cool! =D love these! i could use some…
1.) yes, more are needed
2.) No
Robin Randall on 05.17.2010 at 11:42 AM
1)I would like to see more options
2) I personally would not need them that big
Nicole on 05.17.2010 at 11:51 AM
Nice to see some modern numbers instead of the boring stuff that is normally out there.
1. I like how they have multiple ways of displaying numbers but they could offer more typefaces and letters.
2. I would not use numbers higher than 8″ on a home but maybe if it was for a business.
Brent on 05.17.2010 at 11:57 AM
1. A few more options would be great.
2. No, I wouldn’t use letters larger than what is already on offer.
Courtney on 05.17.2010 at 12:00 PM
Of course more typefaces would be welcome, but I do really like the selection they have.
I guess it depends on how close your house is to the street.
spencer on 05.17.2010 at 12:06 PM
1) Yes
2) Only if I owned a night club.
nathan on 05.17.2010 at 12:17 PM
1. a few additional options would be better.
2. I would use numbers larger than 8″ in commercial use, but not residential.
Katie Baird on 05.17.2010 at 12:17 PM
1) A little more variety would be great, Although I really love the socal typeface!
2) Can’t really see ever needing anything bigger than 8″ unless I owned a commercial business.
Kendra on 05.17.2010 at 12:18 PM
1. No, some more creative options would be great.
2. No, I probably wouldn’t go over 6 inches b/c I have a small house very close to the street, but I can understand why others might.
BLIMOGES on 05.17.2010 at 12:20 PM
1) As a builder, it would be nice to see more fonts available that compliment the different forms of modern architecture.
2) Numbers larger than 8″ would be nice if available “off the shelf” rather than having them custom fabricated.
Paola on 05.17.2010 at 12:26 PM
1. No, a few more typefaces would be nice.
2. No, 8″ is probably sufficient for most homes and I likely wouldn’t buy numbers bigger than that.
Kelly on 05.17.2010 at 12:28 PM
1. The typefaces they have are good ones, but I’d still like to see more than four.
2. Possibly
Erik on 05.17.2010 at 12:38 PM
1) I’m more than satisfied with the fonts offered. Keep it classic, keep it simple.
2) Numbers larger than 8″ would definitely be cool and make a big difference for homes placed farther back from the street.
Scott on 05.17.2010 at 12:50 PM
1. Font’s offered are very good, but a larger selection would be nice.
2. 8″ is plenty.
JM on 05.17.2010 at 12:52 PM
1-I’d prefer a few more options. I could probably choose from the ones available if I had to, but more variety would be nice.
2-I personally wouldn’t need numbers larger than 8″, but I’m sure they’d be beneficial on homes larger than mine or further from the street.
brent on 05.17.2010 at 13:03 PM
1. not enough typeface options.
2. i would not purchase anything larger than 8″.
Grant on 05.17.2010 at 13:09 PM
1. Yes, I believe they have enough fonts that I could pick one and be happy, but it may be in their best interest to have a few more options.
2. I wouldn’t need numbers larger than 8″
Jelinas on 05.17.2010 at 13:09 PM
1) Yes, but there’s always room for more. :)
2) No.
Brittani Faulkes on 05.17.2010 at 13:20 PM
Fabulous! So nice to see something other than the hardware store models : ). 1. The existing options are great but more would be better! 2. Bigger than 8″ would be great for visibility in homes set back from the road.
anne on 05.17.2010 at 13:21 PM
1. no, there are not enough
2. not at this time
Elana B. on 05.17.2010 at 13:22 PM
1. I would like to see more options available
2. No
RickS on 05.17.2010 at 13:29 PM
1. Yes, More typefaces would be great!
2. Anything larger than 8″ seems to be overkill for most houses.
Isa M on 05.17.2010 at 13:55 PM
1. Yes, I think more fonts would be a nice option.
2. I might be interested in numbers that are 12\
Brad on 05.17.2010 at 13:56 PM
1: No, they need more variety.
2: Probably not, my house is very close to the street. I don;t think anything that big would be necessary.
Andrew on 05.17.2010 at 13:57 PM
1) No, I don’t think there are enough typefaces. I’d go Backbay or SoHo, but I could stand to have a few more choices.
2) 8″ is enough for me, but I could see wanting larger. (And yes, that’s what she said.)
rstukes on 05.20.2010 at 12:07 PM
1) I’d like a few more
2) 8″ is high enough for me for the house
Jaque on 05.17.2010 at 14:29 PM
For the use, Modern House Numbers probably has enough fonts, however there are most likely people who would prefer a more artistic flare to their numbers.
Personally, I would not purchase numbers larger than 8inches, but having the option to increase the size for a more eclectic effect might be desireable.
Thank you. :-)
Margaret Smith on 05.17.2010 at 14:56 PM
Yes, I’d like to see more fonts and also larger letters. Thanks so much.
Ber on 05.17.2010 at 16:01 PM
1. Yes there are enough choices.
2. I would consider getting larger numbers.
Minna on 05.17.2010 at 16:04 PM
1) No, I think there should be more typefaces! They have made a good start with what they have.
2) I would not be interested in numbers taller than 8″.
Kim on 05.17.2010 at 16:10 PM
YES. I think you’ve chosen nice fonts and I like that I don’t have to spend an hour choosing my own.
NO. 8″ seems large enough.
Carolina Beier on 05.17.2010 at 16:52 PM
No, not enough typefaces.
No, not interested in higher than 8″ numbers.
trent d. on 05.17.2010 at 16:53 PM
1. of course we’d like more typefaces. comic sans is noticeably absent.
2. eight inches seems a bit ostentatious.
Carolina Beier on 05.17.2010 at 16:53 PM
No, not enough types.
No, not interested in higher than 8.
Zafera on 05.17.2010 at 16:59 PM
1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.
kellyk on 05.17.2010 at 17:08 PM
1. NO – more choices would be much appreciated.
2. NO – frankly, i need smaller options (4 and 3\)
ANdy on 05.17.2010 at 17:22 PM
No: being a font nerd, i would definitely love more options.
No: well not personally. but i could see where they’d be useful.
Christopher Smith on 05.17.2010 at 17:37 PM
1) Do you feel that Modern House Numbers offers an adequate selection of typefaces (fonts)?
– No, there is always room for improvement and variety will always be better!
2) Would you be interested in purchasing address numbers larger than 8” high?
Personally, no I would not. I do not want something to take attention away from the beauty of my home. 8″ would be be the maximum for me.
Elana on 05.17.2010 at 17:42 PM
1. No, I think there should be more typefaces.
2. No, I personally wouldn’t need numbers higher than 8″ but it wouldn’t really go with the style of my house.
Adam on 05.17.2010 at 19:11 PM
1) More wouldn’t hurt, but there is more to like in the current small selection than in most house number lines.
2) I wouldn’t purchase numbers bigger than 8″, but wouldn’t look down my nose at someone who did.
Brad Ross-MacLeod on 05.17.2010 at 19:38 PM
1. While I like the choices offered (and have yearned to get some), more choices would certainly be welcome.
2. I personally don’t have a need for anything larger, but I imagine there would be a market.
Jamie on 05.17.2010 at 19:44 PM
I feel they have a good variety of types/fonts and would not buy a larger.
CapreeK on 05.17.2010 at 19:51 PM
1) More typefaces would be awesome! Also, as someone who lives in a place with a letter in my address, it would be great to see letters offered as well!
2) Yes, I’d love to see larger numbers!
Jennifer on 05.17.2010 at 20:43 PM
A few more choices would be nice, but the choices that are there are really stellar!
And I think that 10 or 12 inch numbers would be great…
Stacey on 05.17.2010 at 21:09 PM
1. Are you kidding? There’s only a few! I hope there’s more soon. :]
2. No. I think over 8” is too loud and big.
nicole on 05.17.2010 at 21:39 PM
1. No I do not think there are enough choices.
2. Yes I would be interested in a larger size.
Tonya Dean on 05.17.2010 at 21:39 PM
1. No, a couple more would be nice.
2. bigger is always better
I’ll even help you out – light up numbers – a whole new market.
pidgeon92 on 05.17.2010 at 22:21 PM
Love the numbers! The ones in the first pic would be perfect on my house.
joe E. on 05.17.2010 at 23:06 PM
1. i definitely agree with the majority- there should be more options for typeface.
2. i have a 2-story house so i think having an option for larger than 8″ would be good.
David on 05.17.2010 at 23:45 PM
1) No, I’d like to see Avant Garde.
2) Nope!
Eric on 05.17.2010 at 23:51 PM
1. I would relish a wider selection of typefaces but not too whacky of choices.
2. Funny, I was just considering changing out my old house number with something larger so yeah, I could fancy that.
Lisa on 05.17.2010 at 23:59 PM
1) I think there are enough typefaces
2) I would be interested in purchasing numbers larger than 8” high. giant numbers. fun fun fun!
Howard Gross on 05.18.2010 at 04:00 AM
The font choices are fine with me… and larger sizes would be nice!
Huguette English on 05.18.2010 at 07:40 AM
1) No, it needs more fancier fonts
2) probably not
Please enter me if open to Canadians.
EMMA L HORTON on 05.18.2010 at 07:50 AM
YES…I WOULD LIKE A FEW MORE OPTIONS AND YES I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PURCHASING MY HOUSE NUMBER
Sarah Jones on 05.18.2010 at 08:04 AM
1) No, I think there should be more choices.
2) Yes, Maybe up to 12? – though I would personally not need them this big I’m sure some people would order them.
diana jones on 05.18.2010 at 08:24 AM
1. I would definitely love more choices.
2. I think 8″ would be sufficient for my needs.
Lori on 05.18.2010 at 10:01 AM
1) I’d like a few more type faces to choose from (and finishes) though the 4 they have are great!
2) Sure why not? I’d like making a statement with functional things.
Mariel Dumas on 05.18.2010 at 10:03 AM
1. No, too few styles.
2. Yes, larger would be awesome!
Kirk on 05.18.2010 at 10:19 AM
1) Not enough typefaces–we need more options, it’s all about options options options.
2) YES, bigger is better; I live in Castle Grayskull and delivery people consistently wander around looking for my meager ‘223.’
Sheila Owens on 05.18.2010 at 10:29 AM
1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.
Justin on 05.18.2010 at 11:08 AM
I love the font selection and the COLORS! If you want more, stores carry more boring options.
8″ is pretty tall and starts getting costly.
Samantha S on 05.18.2010 at 12:04 PM
1. I think there should be more choices personally, but I do really enjoy SoCal
2. I could see a use for bigger, but for the house I’m currently in right now, I doubt I would need any larger. I could understand the want for it for people whose houses are not as close to the curb of the street / sidewalk as mine. :)
Shirley Hodge on 05.18.2010 at 12:44 PM
1. Think the font offerings are fine. While some people would probably like victorian gee goos or perhaps middle ages script, plain modernistic fonts are the easiest to read and after all that is their purpose, trying to read numbers covered with curley cues from the street can be impossible.
2. I would not be interested in numbers more than 8″ high.
Derrek Greene on 05.18.2010 at 12:52 PM
1.) More options never hurt. Variety is the spice of life.
2.) I would absolutely consider numbers larger than 8″(Up to 12″). On a dark city street larger numbers with a light glow behind them would be great for finding houses. And it’d be impressive to see them used commercially with purposely oversized numbers (5 feet tall) to do something totally different.
Monique Rizzo on 05.18.2010 at 13:04 PM
Yes, they offer adequate selection and no not more than 8inches high!!
Thanks for the chance.
[email protected]
eric on 05.18.2010 at 13:11 PM
1) No. But I do quite like the SoCal.
2) Not for my house but I could see using it in certain design applications.
3) Are there future plans to have letters available?
Julieta Paganini on 05.18.2010 at 14:14 PM
1) Not enough typeface options.
2) Yes, but not for my house.
rivkeh on 05.18.2010 at 14:46 PM
1. Yes and No. Loved the simplicity of choices. What they have is a fine start, but at least 8 would be great. Ideally a small number of very different typefaces, all truly modern.
2. No. Or maybe yes, just for fun, e.g. could use one large number and the others smaller.
J on 05.18.2010 at 15:24 PM
1) No, more selection please
2) No 8″ is adequate
Linda Lansford on 05.18.2010 at 15:28 PM
no
yes
Amy on 05.18.2010 at 18:12 PM
1. yes, i love type and would like to have more options, or i’ll have to laser cut them myself.
2. i don’t think i’d want to use a house number that is too large, because maybe people will want to break in and steal from me. but i’d love to use really extremely large ones if i ever have my commercial place, cause it is about attracting people.
Deborah R on 05.18.2010 at 19:18 PM
I think they could offer more typefaces, but I do like the ones they currently have.
I can’t imagine needing numbers larger than eight inches, so no.
Stephen on 05.18.2010 at 19:35 PM
1| No, need a wider selection of fonts.
2| No, any bigger and it would be viewable from space.
MikeB on 05.18.2010 at 19:46 PM
I would love to see the range of ‘faces extended – choose wisely though! Nothing too
‘on trend’! – As for the size, I’m sure larger numbers would be picked up for commercial use – I know our studio could use them…
Gene Rubin on 05.18.2010 at 19:52 PM
1. No, there is always room for more options!
2. Yes, I would use numbers larger than 8″ high.
Rick on 05.18.2010 at 20:35 PM
1) No, and what I really want are letters for unit “A”, Apt. “B”
2) Don’t need more than 8
Kyle on 05.18.2010 at 21:11 PM
1) Yes, pretty decent.
2) No, not sure I would need that big.
Connie on 05.18.2010 at 21:41 PM
1) No, I would love more typefaces
2) Yes, I could think of situations in which a larger sizes would be nice, but rarer.
Annelie on 05.19.2010 at 00:18 AM
1. There is a need for a greater selection, it is restrictive at the moment.
2. 8″ is enough
Jeanelle on 05.19.2010 at 01:36 AM
1. No. A few more options would be great
2. No. not for my house
Joseph on 05.19.2010 at 02:43 AM
1. Yes, any more choices can just get more confusing.
2. Yes, I’d like to see maybe 10″ or 12″ sizes.
Amber on 05.19.2010 at 08:41 AM
I love the typefaces they carry now! Also, I don’t think I would be interested in letters larger than 8″.
jay on 05.19.2010 at 09:28 AM
1. Yes and no. more variety will be good one day I think it will be needed for you to attract more people as time goes on. – as for now the SoCal would probably work out just fine.
2. I could be intereseted in something around 9 or 10 inches. I’d have to mock up any size on the little brick house to be sure.
gracias
José on 05.19.2010 at 09:55 AM
1. 4 is not enough.
2. I would LOVE numbers bigger than 8 inches. If it were up to me, I’d put a pin-mounted super graphic sized House Numbers,.. but the neighbors may not like it.
Chris on 05.19.2010 at 11:41 AM
1) Absolutely.
2) YES! Up to 24″ if they were available.
Adam on 05.19.2010 at 12:42 PM
1) No: needs more
2) No: current sizes fine
chris swan on 05.19.2010 at 13:34 PM
1=no (could use more)
2=no not me personally but I could see it for a house setback far from the street.
danielle on 05.19.2010 at 14:09 PM
1. I would like to see more typefaces.
2. I probably would not purchase numbers larger then 8″… I would have no where to put them!
Doug Winship on 05.19.2010 at 16:22 PM
1: No. I’m not sure they need a larger number, but they do need a greater difference between offerings.
2: Yes, for the aluminum house numbers only.
Jen on 05.19.2010 at 19:50 PM
1. No, more please!
2. No, not sure that they would be useful
Autumn B. on 05.19.2010 at 23:46 PM
1) I’d like a few different typefonts
2) I wouldn’t want any bigger numbers, but others might

Liz on 05.20.2010 at 09:04 AM

2. Yes, I’d love them to be a little larger!
Kasia on 05.20.2010 at 09:05 AM
1) Yes
2) Yes
Jenny on 05.20.2010 at 09:06 AM
1) I’m satisfied with the variety offered.
2) No, 8″ is enough for me.
Kate on 05.20.2010 at 09:14 AM
1) The current typeface options are great but more options would be better!
2) I would not be interested in numbers bigger than 8? high for my home but it might be good for commercial buildings.
Yoav L on 05.20.2010 at 09:16 AM
1) Yes, limited is better.
2) I think it’s enough. But, my distance to the curb is not as great as some.
matthew on 05.20.2010 at 09:16 AM
1) Yes and defintely
2) No I don’t think so.
Sean on 05.20.2010 at 09:19 AM
1. No, the more, the merrier!
2. No, I can live with 8″ or less.
Jess on 05.20.2010 at 09:28 AM
1.) No, I would love to see more options.
2.) I have a smaller house, so no, but I can see the market need for it.
GoingLikeSixty on 05.20.2010 at 09:32 AM
Yes
Yes
Yes (to all other questions yet unasked.)
Daniel on 05.20.2010 at 09:37 AM
Yes, and no. I think between 6-8″ is large enough to read from the street & anything larger might look tacky..It’s all about context.
Amy on 05.20.2010 at 09:42 AM
1) No, I don’t think there are enough typefaces.
2) No, 8? is large enough for me.
Chad on 05.20.2010 at 09:50 AM
1) No I don’t think there are enough typefaces. ALthough I would choose socal, and I’m disappointed my house number doesn’t have an 8 in it.
2) I would probably only get 8 inch numbers, so bigger isn’t really necessary for my house
Amy Rule on 05.20.2010 at 09:51 AM
1. The typefaces they have are nice ones, but I’d still like to see more!
2. Perhaps
eve on 05.20.2010 at 09:52 AM
No, there are not enough typefaces.
No, there’s no space for anything larger than 8″ outside my home.
Katie on 05.20.2010 at 09:52 AM
1) There are definitely options that I like and would not have a problem chosing from. However, more options are always appreciated.
3) I think 8″ is perfect, bigger might be too ostentatious
Laura on 05.20.2010 at 09:57 AM
1. I would like to see a few more typeface styles.
2. I would not be interested in larger sized numbers. My house is not that big and close to the street.
Keith on 05.20.2010 at 10:03 AM
1-more fonts, please!
2-no need (for me) for numbers larger than 8″.
Heather on 05.20.2010 at 10:09 AM
1) Definitely more typefaces. A bigger selection will draw in a bigger customer base.
2) I personally would buy larger than 8″, however I don’t see that being much of a demand.
Lucia on 05.20.2010 at 10:13 AM
1) yes!! i love it!
2) noo.. it to big
amber on 05.20.2010 at 10:15 AM
1) No, the more the better!
2) I don’t think so…I guess I’d have to see them to make a final decision, but 8″ seems big enough.
Sana on 05.20.2010 at 10:18 AM
No. More choices please! I’ll be keeping watch.
Yes. I wish my house was impressive enough to warrant HUGE numbers! But it’s not. Maybe I could turn them into a water feature? There must be some way I could use them.
Milo on 05.20.2010 at 10:22 AM
1. No, only 4 typefaces is not enough.
2. No, 8 inches should be enough for everybody.
Josh on 05.20.2010 at 10:30 AM
1) No – More choices would be ideal. I guess it all depends on the readability factor. With the numerous choices of fonts available on my laptop, a modern option would provide choice in printed numbers from my house. I don’t live in California, NY or Miami.
2) Yes. My home is offset from the road and it might be helpful if I had bigger numbers. I’d also like to see numbers available for the mail post not just the mailbox.
Thank you,
kim2.0 on 05.20.2010 at 10:35 AM
1. No- I would like more typefaces
2. Yes -I would purchase numbers larger than 8?
maria on 05.20.2010 at 10:39 AM
1- No, and I’d recommend the classic type-faces. Helvetica?
2- Yes, then they could be used in commercial projects.
Jennifer on 05.20.2010 at 10:49 AM
1. No, need a few more.
2. Probably not.
Andreas on 05.20.2010 at 10:58 AM
1. No.
2. Yes.
Leslie on 05.20.2010 at 11:00 AM
We moved here recently and have missed 3 deliveries because we don’t have an address displayed. We’d love to be lucky and win your Modern House Numbers. Not only are your numbers visually pleasing but they’d also make our address easily identifiable and we’d be the envy of our neighbors.
Thank you for considering us.
1) More options to your Modern House Numbers are not necessary.
2) Anything over 8″ would be too large
Peter on 05.20.2010 at 11:06 AM
1: No (sweet spot around 10)
2: No (except for very unique situations)
Devin Boyle on 05.20.2010 at 11:10 AM
Yes, more options for typefaces would be great.
I would be interested in purchasing #s larger than 8″
carolyn yarborough on 05.20.2010 at 11:14 AM
1) I would like a wider selection of fonts to choose from?
2) I could definitely see purchasing numbers more than 8” high.
Kurt Vermeersch on 05.20.2010 at 11:15 AM
1. More fonts would be great!
2. No, 8? is large enough.
Lilly on 05.20.2010 at 11:19 AM
1) Considering I love them all its enough for me. But I can see how you might pull in more customers if you had a few more type faces.
2) I think 8″ would be plenty for me!
Aaron on 05.20.2010 at 11:26 AM
1) No, a few more choices would be good.
2) No, I have no use for numbers that large.
Sara on 05.20.2010 at 11:42 AM
1 – I actually like the number of choices! Sometimes, too many choices just becomes confusing and causes me to close the website when I can’t make a decision. Which, I’ll admit, is a common problem.
2 – My house is too small for numbers bigger than 8 inches! But man, would these look awesome on my house.
H. Michael Karshis on 05.20.2010 at 11:44 AM
Cool post, I’d love to see a type/font/nuber post for every other chair post!
1. A few more typefaces would be nice.
2. Why not, I’m sure there are a good number “Type Freak” folks like me that use these numbers as interior decorative elements. And depending on the project or concept, sometimes bigger is better.
Been digging Design Milk for a few years now, keep up the great work and thanks for sharing!
tami on 05.20.2010 at 11:48 AM
no and no :)
Sheila on 05.20.2010 at 11:49 AM
1. I was surprised to see that there is a large variety of fonts! I love South Beach. I am quite pleased, although adding some funky fonts would be pretty fun!
2. 8\ is perfect – going bigger wouldn’t be bad either though. It might be better for business and some people might prefer it because it’d be \large and popping\.
RickMagley on 05.20.2010 at 11:53 AM
1. Something a little less predictable would enhance the selection. Sometimes a juxtaposition is the best statement.
2. 8″ is tall enough, but I could imagine using larger sizes in some stencil applications.
Biotite on 05.20.2010 at 12:29 PM
1. No, more options is always better but what they have is nice.
2. 8″ is big enough for me.
Jessica Biggs on 05.20.2010 at 12:30 PM
1.) No. While the typefaces should be limited to “modern” or contemporary typefaces, there are many more than the 4 selections that do have a greater range of style within the modern aesthetic.
2.) No. I think 8″ is quite big enough.
Erica on 05.20.2010 at 12:32 PM
1. I think there is enough for my taste, but more is always welcome.
2. I would be interested for a business in letters higher, but not for my current personal use.
louis lemoine on 05.20.2010 at 12:36 PM
1. you can never have enough typeface options.
2. and 8″ is probably the largest i would personally want.
pierre on 05.20.2010 at 13:26 PM
1) yes, but more options are always welcomed
2) 8″ is adequate but larger would be good for commercial applications
Leigh Singleton on 05.20.2010 at 13:48 PM
I was surprised they only offered 4, but the four seem to offer different, modern looks, and “modern” is what they are selling.
My little home is so close to the street that 8 inch plus lettering would be overkill.
Thanks for the contest!
Caroline on 05.20.2010 at 14:49 PM
1) More options would be great.
2) Personally, I would probably not go bigger than 8″, but I could think of many instances that a bigger size would be desirable.
William Meldrum on 05.20.2010 at 14:56 PM
More faces
8″ see, enough for most applications… maybe 0″ special order?
Kathy Scott on 05.20.2010 at 14:56 PM
A few more fonts would be nice.
I don’t think that I would want bigger than 8″
Sally on 05.20.2010 at 15:46 PM
1) No, I want more options.
2) Yes, up to 24.”
shawna on 05.20.2010 at 16:14 PM
1)I would like to see more
2)8″ is high enough for me.
Zach on 05.20.2010 at 16:33 PM
1. no, I would say a few more options would be great
2. yes, larger is more versatile for sure!
FizzyProps on 05.20.2010 at 16:35 PM
1) More is always better, enough right now to make a decision though.
2) Yes
Ceci Gomez on 05.20.2010 at 17:29 PM
1) Do you feel that Modern House Numbers offers an adequate selection of typefaces (fonts)? Absolutely not! I had to make mine.
2) Would you be interested in purchasing address numbers larger than 8” high? Yes!
Nick on 05.20.2010 at 17:37 PM
1. Yes please!
2. No, 8″ high is fine.
tim on 05.20.2010 at 17:44 PM
1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.
Allane on 05.20.2010 at 19:12 PM
1) There are too few typefaces. Some houses don’t look nice with modern numbers, the way Victorian houses with modern light fixtures on the outside might not work together. It would be cool if there were Script typefaces available.
2) Yes, the 8″ size is fine. I think it’s the right size.
Sarah on 05.20.2010 at 20:17 PM
Yes. I love the fonts that are available.
No. Higher than 8 would look funny on the house.
Leanne on 05.20.2010 at 20:55 PM
1. No, I’d like to see more options
2. Sure, large numbers would work great for my house since it sits so high up off the road.
David on 05.20.2010 at 21:08 PM
1) Nope.
2) Nope. Unless I have my facade remodelled and then I’d be a definite yes. But facade remodelling is hardly affordable design.
SneezyDoor on 05.20.2010 at 21:58 PM
1) Definitely a few more typefaces, even though the range is pretty good at the moment.
2) Yep, up to 15″ would be great.
shane Bushek on 05.20.2010 at 22:28 PM
1. Yes, I like them clean and simple.
2. 8\ seem to be large enough. I might even prefer 6\ in some cases.
April B. on 05.20.2010 at 22:28 PM
No, there needs to be more options.
No, I would not need letters that high!
Courtney on 05.20.2010 at 22:32 PM
1 – I think there could be more
2- yes, and larger ones too
bg on 05.20.2010 at 23:25 PM
no and no
Pamela Berger on 05.20.2010 at 23:33 PM
1. A few more options would be great
2. Yes, I’d like big numbers…
Carolyn on 05.20.2010 at 23:57 PM
1. No, there can always be more typefaces.
2. Yes, perhaps up to 12″ high depending on the location.
Deanna on 05.21.2010 at 00:28 AM
A few more font options would be nice – but more than 8 would be to many.
I personally would not want numbers larger than 8″ but when finding an address, I do appreciate larger numbers on the house.
Joe Perez on 05.21.2010 at 01:08 AM
1. The number of typefaces is sufficient. I’m one for simple design.
2. >8″ perhaps for commercial installation but not for my home.
A A Malik on 05.21.2010 at 01:57 AM
1) Yes, and more variety
2) Not sure, maybe
Yusuf Bangura on 05.21.2010 at 04:49 AM
1) No, I’d like at least a few more choices.
2) Yes, I would very much like to see 10
bigandy on 05.21.2010 at 07:15 AM
1: Need a bit more variety on the fonts.
2: 8″ is enough for my house.
debrah block on 05.21.2010 at 07:57 AM
i love your selection of fonts…and i would be interested in numbers that might be 12″ tall…
Alle on 05.21.2010 at 07:57 AM
1) Love the style options. I’m a fool for fonts, so a few more might be nice, but the selection is so well chosen that it won’t prevent my purchase.
2) Yes, taller would be nice for modern, tall buildings, and 8″ isn’t all that tall on an outside structure.
Amy on 05.21.2010 at 08:58 AM
1) I like two of the three fonts that are offered. I’m sure more fonts are needed!
2) I would be interested in house numbers that are more than 8” high. I already have a sculpture with a 6′ wing span. Bigger IS better!
Joyce on 05.21.2010 at 09:49 AM
The selection is good, maybe a few more, but not many more. I like that you are selective in the font choices.
Bigger than 8\ – yes, please. They would work well as a design element. I love oversized things, that crop up in unexpected ways.
Brandon on 05.21.2010 at 10:32 AM
1) No, I would like to see additional typefaces.
2) Yes, over-scaled numbers would be great.
Laura H. on 05.21.2010 at 10:42 AM
more font selections would be nice and also larger numbers to choose from would be great….maybe up to 12\
Charlie Bentley on 05.21.2010 at 12:02 PM
1) There are never enough fonts to satisfy everybody.
2) 8\ letters are big enough unless one wishes to use them as an architectural element.
cindy on 05.21.2010 at 12:31 PM
I could easily find something I liked with the current selection… but I could understand where a couple more font choices would round out the collection a bit nicer.
Anything over 8″ house numbers would be too large for most residential needs. But I do think a larger mailbox decal size would be great for those of us with only a few numbers.
Matthew Anderson on 05.21.2010 at 12:47 PM
1) While I appreciate this service, the typefaces offered make it pretty much pointless. With the selections found here, you’re not adding anything to the market that wasn’t already present. Think about the typefaces that have graced notable architectural landmarks through history, and use that as a reference point. Try Gotham, Futura Condensed, etc.
2) If you had better typefaces, yes I would find a need for that.
Kim Wozniak on 05.21.2010 at 12:51 PM
1. I like the type faces but there could be a couple more. What I would really like is to be able to purchase letters as well.
2. 8″ adequate for my pourposes.
Charlene on 05.21.2010 at 13:11 PM
1. Yes
2. No, have no need for anything larger than that.
E Made on 05.21.2010 at 14:09 PM
No: I definitely feel there is a need for more font options. The four that are currently available are tried and true classics and should remain as MHN options, but even if just a few more were added as limited editions issued once or twice a year, you could be a little adventurous with one or two versions, then add another contemporary modern design that could be an additions to the classic variety. It would be interesting if you consulted with a graphic designer to issue something original.
Yes: I would consider buying number larger than 8″ for a commercial property, but not for residential.
lilshuga2001 on 05.21.2010 at 14:45 PM
Need a few more :)
No
Tom on 05.21.2010 at 14:49 PM
1) I would like more typefaces
2) For myhouse 8 is sufficient but I would love to have the use for larger ones
Kamil on 05.21.2010 at 15:00 PM
1. there can never be enough
2. yes
Neuarmy on 05.21.2010 at 15:09 PM
1 — Yes! More options are always appreciated.
2 — I think house numbers larger than 8″ would look pretty badass.
Chase on 05.21.2010 at 15:10 PM
1) No. The more options (within reason) the better!
2) No. 8″ high is probably perfect, if not already fairly large for most residential applications.
I love the Socal deco font! These are super great in stainless w/ the offset! Mmmm.
Hilary on 05.21.2010 at 15:12 PM
No, there is always room for extra fonts!
Yes, I would buy bigger letters…I was designing a building address two years ago and we had major issues finding the biggie size letters.
Kennan on 05.21.2010 at 15:19 PM
1- More choices is (almost) always better! Although if I do love Soho.
2- I would be fine with less that 8″ but it could be fun to have a larger choice. Maybe some unexpected uses?
Sean Merryman on 05.21.2010 at 15:20 PM
1) I would like at least a few more choices or perhaps bolded of existing.
2) Yes, up to 14′ as my house is 80 ft from the street.
hauptbahnhof on 05.21.2010 at 15:28 PM
– no, id prefer more font choices
– no, 8″ is sufficient
Jon Spooner on 05.21.2010 at 15:45 PM
1. There are not enough typefaces. Tons of other options should be available.
2. I would be interested in numbers larger than 8″.
Happi Shopr on 05.21.2010 at 15:49 PM
1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.
Mary-Frances C. on 05.21.2010 at 16:02 PM
1.) I think they need a few more: maybe a gothic letter ispired font?
2.)8” is high enough, but I think it would be neat to see larger sizes too.
Chris Morris on 05.21.2010 at 16:03 PM
1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.
Justine on 05.21.2010 at 16:45 PM
I definitely think you should offer more, it’s not that hard these days maybe? I do like your SoCal numbers a lot…
I would probably never buy numbers bigger than 8″
Linda on 05.21.2010 at 18:41 PM
1) Do you feel that Modern House Numbers offers an adequate selection of typefaces (fonts)? No
2) Would you be interested in purchasing address numbers larger than 8” high? Yes!!
susan smoaks on 05.21.2010 at 18:57 PM
they have a lot to choose from and i think 8″ is high enough
Jesslyn A. on 05.21.2010 at 19:01 PM
1. I think offering some additional fonts would be a good thing.
2. While 8″ would work well for us, I can imagine circumstances where larger sizes would be desirable.
Helen on 05.21.2010 at 19:38 PM
1. No
2. Yes
cheryl on 05.21.2010 at 20:23 PM
yes, i like the fonts available
no, they would be too large for my house, but my mom has 16 inch numbers on her house so i am sure someone would like them.
holly on 05.21.2010 at 20:44 PM
1. I love SoCal, but I would like to see something similar to Bauhaus 93 font in word.
2. Anything bigger than 8″ would be to large, so no.
Katie Wranik on 05.21.2010 at 20:52 PM
I would love to see more typefaces! The more the merrier! I would have to say I would buy letters up to 12 inches… Houses can be huge and farther away from the street. Very nice idea!
R Hicks on 05.21.2010 at 22:04 PM
I think they do offer a good selection of fonts and typefaces. Any more and it becomes confusing to select!
ardy22 at earthlink dot net
Jason on 05.21.2010 at 23:00 PM
Oh no, and Oh yea!
Gianna on 05.21.2010 at 23:45 PM
Yes & yes :)
Christian on 05.21.2010 at 23:50 PM
1. A few more designs would be nice, but the existing are satisfactory.
2. Depending on the house, yes 8″ may be a nice touch.
Randy Piovarchy on 05.23.2010 at 05:08 AM
1.More (fonts) is always better!
2.I have a large entry area that could easily handle a number greater than 8 inches tall.
