Some words from the designer... More…

I began Pooper Black 6 years ago as an analog font. It wasn't until my son was born in 1998 that I began the digital process. The parallels of certain ascending characters never quite worked so I shelved and resurrected the project many times with little result until this year. Pooper Black is based on a brush ethic and has an extreme axis that lends a certain amount of speed to the font while the lack of connectors slows it down. Its name is derived from the old joke about Cooper Black and the stage of my son’s life when I began working on it. A wonderful face for packaging, titling and short bursts of text.
