COOPER BLACK
(TYPE SPECIMEN)
The goal of this project is to choose a face in the shop and create a printed specimen sheet for it.
Cooper Black, a font for display use designed by Oswald Bruce Cooper and released by the Barnhart Brothers & Spindler type foundry in 1922. It has become emblematic in the late ‘60s for its pop-culture use and advertised as being "for far-sighted printers with near-sighted customers", as well as "the Black Menace" by detractors.
