Anderson: Cooper Black

David M. Anderson’s Chaotic Times of Cooper Black, 2008. Mixed media on canvas.

Based on the type of Ozwald Cooper (1879-1940). From my Typography 3 course at Art Institute of California Sacramento.

It was a dark night  . . .

Chandler 42 was one of my first typefaces – and one of the earliest ‘grunge’ typewriter font packages to hit the market.

It has details in it one won’t see in other autotraced typewriter adaptations. Eight fonts in the complete package. Snag your copy here.

‘Amazing fontstaches! I love Mr. Jeanne Moderno myself =D’ –Darren Evans

Hm.

I actually am Mr. Jeanne Moderno – since I did name the font after my wife.

And I did kind of base that bracket on the facial hair of this particular potato chip mascot.

Really.

Eames fonts

‘Charles and Ray Eames did not design a typeface. They did, however, leave a philoshophical template for a font collection worthy of their name.’

House Industries has created Eames Century Modern – a rethinking of the original Century types – with a midcentury modern update. Details here.
