Today’s house number challenge is to spot the number on this cute suburban home. l’ll give you a clue. The font is Helvetica Nueue Condensed Bold, scaled so each number is 5″ tall.
Wow! You can’t see it? Here’s a further clue. The number is over 2 ft tall. Still can’t see it? Okay I’ll tell you the bottom line: the number is long and thin.
I can’t believe you still can’t see it. Alright, the final part of the secret is that it’s TOTALLY INVISIBLE to the human eye from the road!
The perpetrator of this useless house number admits the job didn’t turn out as envisioned. “A bit too low contrast,” Chris said. To say the least.
Do you totally give up? Then I’ll tell you.
The house number is sprayed onto the long, thin window to the right of the door using privacy glass spray and a stencil.
Oh, I hear you say.
All is not lost! Chris can shop online at the House Number Shop and have an elegant, readable sign delivered to his house. Don’t know how they’ll find his place though.
Is your house number in danger of extinction?

Do your house numbers stand out too much?

There’s such a thing as your house numbers standing out, but having them standing out about five inches proud of you house siding is a bit much. Your tall brother-in-law can do himself an injury there. There are better ways to get noticed, such as getting attractive neat house numbers from the House Number Shop that will stand out good and proper.
Are your house numbers so cute as to be unreadable?

House numbers are not a good place for high art even if you are a cat fanatic. Yes, these numbers do incorporate cat heads, believe it or not, though I can’t say for sure what numbers these are supposed to represent. I say it’s best to keep the cat art indoors and the clear house numbers outside where folk can read them. It’s not so hard. Get a beautiful, classy, easy-to-read house number from the House Number Shop.
Did your house sign get vandalized?

Imagine placing a 911 call and waiting for the ambulance arrive if you had this address sign! I’d hope someone was able to wait out in the front yard and wave down the ambulance before I died.
Don’t fret though, because it’s simple to buy a brand new shiny metal house number at the House Number Shop. Get a new one today!

Alas, paint eventually wears off.
Why not consider plain aluminum house numbers, which will keep looking great for years and years to come!
No Kitties and Babies, but we do have many other address number signs to choose from

No, we don’t have a number sign with a baby playing trumpet, or a friendly kitty.
But we do have a lawn sign with chickadees, and an address plaque with pine cones.
Address Number fell off recently? Time for a new one.
