In addition, I've listed a handful of sources in the description, including Fonts In Use and Font Review Journal that were indispensable in researching the piece. - Estelle

I recently digitalized a typeface that was otherwise lost in history. There is another version of it, but it's not the original, and I wanted the original. So I took a photo of my design-book where the typeface was featured. I cleaned it up in Photoshop and used Fontself to make it a digital font. The original is by a danish architecture called Gunnar Biilmann Petersen. *_You should really do a video on this typeface_* using old pictures and stuff because it's amazing, and I feel like it needs to see the light of day, again.

As a child in the late 80's I had a set of this font for a toy alphabet kind of thing. It was a little magnetic desktop on a hinge and inside the desk was all the Cooper Black letters in bright colors with tiny magnets set into them. Calling this font ubiquitous is an understatement.

its my fave font, but we dont use it that often in Poland bc it does not have polish signs

Stravaganza” (the 5th and final season), "Everybody Hates Chris", "What's Happening Now!!!" a sitcom sequel of the 1970's sequel "What's Happening!!", the 1992 "Married... with Children short-lived spin-off "Vinnie & Bobby", "Louie", "The Problem Solverz", "Derek", "F is for Family", the italian dub of "Spongebob Squarepants", "The Conners" (in addition to being the logo font for parent series "Roseanne") and "The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh".

I honestly love the Cooper Black font. It’s everywhere but I don’t think I’ve ever noticed that until watching this video. It’s a naturally satisfying font.

I absolutely _adore_ these mini documentaries about typefaces. Please do more!

Me: watches this video Also me: proceeds to use Cooper Black font in every document I type in MS Word, even if it's against the required font.

As a Canadian, it was the "Roots" font to me until now. 😲

I saw my country KENYA there and just giggled! That font is everywhere!

This was so engaging for something I had never known or cared about before

The use by so many hip hop crews can be associated to the similarity of graffiti type and stencil forms used in DIYs. The font was actually called of "Black threat" because of the amount of tint used (and for the age it was pretty racist too).

Sasha Lee “anthropomorphic” means it’s shaped or acts like a human, so if it looks like a duck it’s not anthropomorphic

Ive never really been that much into fonts, but I enjoyed everything about this essay. good job! :)

I love this font so much. Its so funky but classy at the same time

Genuinely happy to see a video about my favourite font

When you're trying to give something that 1960/70s feel. It gives me the same vibes as Comic Sans.

This was a great dive into the history of that type font. Thank you for inspiring me to use it for my project.
