This coming Thursday, the fine folks at House Industries are putting on an open house / opening reception for their new Eames Century Modern font collection at the Eames office in Santa Monica!

Talk about amazing, neither of these groups need any introduction. The best font designers ever teaming up with the best industrial, product, furniture designers of the 20th century. It’s stuff that dreams are made of.

House & Eames, not messing around.

Please join us as we introduce the illustrative beauty and cumulative functionality of Eames Century Modern with a three-dimensional tactile typographic experience at the Eames Office Gallery in Santa Monica. A cornucopia of free-standing dimensional letterforms and hand-printed installations celebrate the intricate curves and stunning stroke contrast that are the building blocks of this new font collection.

Dang. Talk about amazing. I have a meeting on SD on Thursday evening but plan to check out the exhibit before it disappears.
