Crisman immediately identified Neutraface, a typeface based on the work of modernist architect Richard Neutra. This, he said, "is a great irony, because Neutra's whole philosophy was about low-cost, affordable housing with a high quality of modern living!" "Neutra Modern House Numbers" sell for $35 a pop at the high-end if not confusingly named furniture store Design Within Reach. ... Schwartz isn't surprised that it's found residential uses, especially given their style. "A lot of these luxury condo developments are kind of zombie modernism, right?" he said. Through blogs, the growth of Instagram, and magazines like Cereal and Kinfolk, the "generic authentic" aesthetic became the go-to look of cities, Crisman said—so common that "you can go to any city almost anywhere in the world and find a cafe or an Airbnb that is renovated and furnished in precisely this style."
