Introducing Our New Range of Fonts
Since launching Peninsula House Numbers, we've offered a core range of 7 fonts that have served our customers well across countless projects. However, we believe there's always room for improvement, and we're excited to share the next evolution of our font collection.
Why We Made the Change
After listening to customer feedback and analysing thousands of orders, we identified several areas where we could better serve our community:
1. Purpose-Built Design
We wanted fonts specifically designed for house numbers and letters, with letterforms optimised for water jet cutting. This ensures clean, precise edges and maximum durability for outdoor use.
2. Customer Feedback
Many customers requested more variety in style options, particularly fonts that could complement specific architectural periods and design aesthetics.
3. Broader Style Range
Our new collection spans from playful coastal styles to sophisticated heritage designs, ensuring every Australian home can find its perfect match.
4. Australian Property Style Matching
We've carefully selected fonts that align with popular Australian architectural styles, from Federation heritage homes to ultra-modern contemporary designs.
