===Chalet=== [[House Industries]]' Chalet family is a series of fonts based on Helvetica, inspired by its many derivatives and adaptations in post-war design, and organised by "date" to '1960' (conventional), '1970' and '1980' (both more radically altered and "science fiction" in feel).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Carney|first1=Rob|title=Greatest fonts countdown: 92 - Chalet|url=http://www.creativebloq.com/typography/greatest-fonts-92-chalet-81412558|website=CreativeBloq|date=6 August 2014|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-date=29 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829204546/http://www.creativebloq.com/typography/greatest-fonts-92-chalet-81412558|url-status=live}}</ref> House Industries, who are known for outlandish font marketing methods, promoted Chalet through presenting it as inspired by the branding and career progression of a fictitious Swiss ''haute couture'' designer, "RenΓ© Chalet" (''Chalet'' being French for a small wooden house, so a play on the design company's name).<ref>{{cite web|last1=Gruppe|first1=Sabine|title=House Industries: Le Must de Chalet Font|url=http://www.fontblog.de/house-industries-le-must-de-chalet/|website=FontBlog|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-date=29 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170829204657/http://www.fontblog.de/house-industries-le-must-de-chalet/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book|last1=Berry|first1=John D.|title=Dot-font: Talking About Fonts|date=2006|publisher=Mark Batty Publisher|location=New York|isbn=0-9772827-0-8|pages=117β121|edition= 1st}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=VanderLans|first1=Rudy|author-link1=Rudy VanderLans|title=It's a thin line: A Review of House Industries|url=http://www.underconsideration.com/speakup/archives/002170.html|website=Speak Up|access-date=29 August 2017|archive-date=30 August 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170830003750/http://www.underconsideration.com/speakup/archives/002170.html|url-status=live}}</ref> {{clear}}
