Cooper Black is a typeface that carries a lot of history. Released in 1922, it has been used for album covers, candy wrappers and presidential campaigns. Lately, I’ve been noticing a pleasant resurgence in it’s use, and have been trying to find an excuse to use it myself.
The downside is that a typeface with this kind of baggage can carry a lot of weight in a design. I want to know, can we put the past behind us and enjoy this beautiful typeface? Apparently I’m not alone.
