Cooper Black book Ward Nicolaas

Everywhere, everyday in our lives, the typeface Cooper Black turns up. Laundromats, dentists, restaurants, comic books, albums covers, magazines, advertisements, airplanes, films, art galleries and fruit gums worldwide... they all use or display Cooper Black, an all time popular font type, developed in the ‘20s by Oswald Cooper. The first step in fully understanding Cooper Black is to accept the fact that it is ugly: sexy ugly. But even without understanding anything about typography or graphic design, this Big Black and Beautiful book will guide you through your own ‘aha’ moments of recognition and surprise.
