House Industries

Andy Cruz and Rich Roat began House Industries in 1993 and have made a considerable impact on the world of design. Their typography deftly melds cultural, musical and graphic elements. From early forays into distressed digital alphabets to sophisticated type and lettering systems, House Industries’ work transcends graphic conventions and reaches out to a broad audience. Their displays concists of any visual quirk -- scribbbly, blobby, jaggedy font.

As house industries has grown so has their font library and products. Their merchandise ranges from modest T-shirts to funky pillows, and different packaging.

They have over 30 fonts that they offer and each one has its own style and character. Studio lettering really caught my eye because I am drawn to the free flowing, soft lined fonts but I also liked the artist proof that they offered which is sold as 100 different images.













The packaging and projects that House Industries work on are amazing. They are "out there" and catch the eye. You can not help but to stare at the brillant colors and read more about the poster, t-shirt, or sign. Some of my favorite projects I found are below.




































Alexander Girard amassed a huge collection of nativities, most of which he spent the last years of his life. This nativity is based on a Girard illustration.


This pillow is with a Neutraface Slab font that was designed to remember the type designers Christian Schwartz, Kai Bernau, Susana Carvalho, Ken Barber and Ben Kiel spent countless hours seated at their desks and toiling over our forthcoming Neutraface Slab font collection.
