Behind The Typeface- Cooper Black

A humorous, yet historically accurate homage to the life and times of a much-maligned font, 1922's Cooper Black.

Simply, friendly, yet bold. Loved by Hobo- rivaled by the stronger Futura Black.

The history of Cooper Black includes many ups and downs- from the low points (patent denied, patent registered, patent taken away) to the highlights (the rebirth on the cover of the Beach Boys 1966's Pet Sounds LP).

So sit back and enjoy this installment of Cheshire Dave’s Behind The Typeface- Cooper Black. Don't hate him because he is the Garfield logo, remember he is also the Archie's logo!
