when do uncool fonts become cool again?
For years and years I have avoided using ‘cooper black’ and looked down on it as being very dated. I remember those old ads shown in the local cinemas in the seventies, advertising the local dodgy curry house. They we always really badly shot and grainy and generally always used cooper black as the font of choice.
After years of skipping past it in our ever growing library of fonts, today I thought I would try it for a piece f Flash that I was working on that needed a bit of a quirky/corny look to it.
What a shining light of inspiration it proved to be, it gave the project the perfect look, with it’s dated seventies-ness really adding to the look and feel of the artwork.
And the moral of the story is……..I guess it doesn’t hurt to take of the blinkers every so often!
