Elle Z Would Have Had It Right If She Had Used Copperplate Exclusively
I think it’s great that they found a way to give couples the option to use Copperplate in new and interesting ways. Using these bands in conjunction with their other design, or using it to create depth and interest to invitations or other elements of the wedding design is perfect.
So thank you Elle Z, you inspired us to feature you and to share you with the entire world. So world, here is Elle Z, and world this is the power of Copperplate Gothic Bold!

Yo-Yo Ima Champion With CGB
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010 | Products | No Comments
The world’s favorite toy, the yo-yo, just got a major facelift! This holiday season we were the proud recipients of, in many ways the best gift ever, a real deal, championship quality yo-yo package that included a traditional wooden yo-yo and a fancy light up yo-yo.
After unwrapping the package and seeing the beautiful box and CGB emblazoned on the front we started to tear up. It was a special moment. After trying out the yo-yos it hearkened back to our days in college at yo-yo festivals where we would try our might against some of the worlds best. Competing for the gold, the glory, and the coveted golden yo-yo blessed by yo-yo great Archie Von Yo-Yo from Germany. These yo-yos were all of that and more. So head out head out to the store, keep your eyes peeled, CGB is everywhere, don’t miss your chance to share your CGB knowledge with the lay folk!
Copperplate Gives a Three Hour Head Start
Monday, January 11th, 2010 | Education, Products | No Comments
A three hour head start in life with Copperplate Gothic Bold is much appreciated.
We were alerted to a company that was selling pre-made business cards to creative types who weren’t able to think of creative things for themselves. We found this interesting and were drawn to, by our estimations, the best seller out of their entire inventory. It’s a somewhat clever way to show that a client will have an advantage by using that particular person. We found it no coincedence that they used Copperplate Gothic Bold as the font to show that they would have a clear advantage over their competitors! Copperplate gothic bold is incredible and this card make sure there is no question as to what the best font to use as.
So continue to be creative, continue to do great things, but remember if you don’t use Copperplate you might as well be the state of California compared to the East Coast, three hours behind everything!!!
Getting Lucky with Some Jeans and Copperplate
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009 | Products | 1 Comment
Isn’t it our Lucky day that Lucky Brand Jeans uses Copperplate Gothic Bold for their storefront. There really isn’t too much to say more about this whole thing other than what an amazing sighting. To see Copperplate used in conjunction with such awesome jeans is absolutely fantastic!
The only gripe we really have with this sighting is that there is nothing lucky about Copperplate Gothic Bold, every bit of awesomeness that it has is by design. There is no luck that this was sighted or created, it was decidedly thought out to use the most amazing font in the world in association with some pretty awesome jeans.
Thanks again to Lucky for using CGB, it truly is a “seamless” experience moving from seeing copperplate into wearing a pair of your wonderfully nice fitting blue jeans.
Pie, Books, Copperplate, What Else Do You Need?
Friday, December 18th, 2009 | Food, Products | No Comments
Oh thank you Emily Martin for creating this masterpiece of literature. Not only did you create some kick ass artwork by making your book look like a pie, but you did it with Copperplate. Authors take note, if you want to get to the top, you must do as Emily Martin did by using Copperplate to distinguish excellence.
They say in entertainment that you must entertain all the senses, smell, taste, vision, touch, hearing, and I say that using Copperplate entertains the sixth sense, the sense of greatness!
Thanks to the folks at Vamp & Tramp you can own a piece of the Copperplate pie, you can own greatness. So thank you again Emily Martin, you are a pioneering woman who deserves every accolade that you receive, every wonderful bit of praise that you should receive. We honor you with the first ever “Copperplate Gothic Bold Award of Greatness”. Don’t look for it in the mail, don’t expect to receive a plaque, unless this site generates more revenue that won’t happen. But we can promise you that you and your work will have a special place in our hearts…well my heart…and that is something.
Antiques? No, Chairlooms.
Monday, December 14th, 2009 | Products | 1 Comment
When you think of old, you think of the stale stench that usually wafts out of your grandparents house. But when you think of something of value you think of the term “chairloom”, something that someone else has sat on that has value because of the people who sat on before it.
We were so excited to see that the folks at chairloom were using Copperplate Gothic Bold to endorse their work. The old lady there looks like she is really excited about the chair she is presenting so the only font worthy of it would be Copperplate Gothic Bold.
We believe that the lady featured in this picture is none other than Martha Washington, the inventor of the American easy chair. It is a little known fact that her husband George Washington was a big fan of the easy chair and used to buy them frequently as a real estate dealer when he lived in Old Town Alexandria.
So when you think that you have something of value lying around the house, and it happens to be a chair, you should look it up, it might just be a “Chairloom” and worthy of Copperplate Gothic Bold!
9 out of 10 Dogs Prefer CGB
Monday, December 14th, 2009 | Food, Products | No Comments
I was wandering around Petco last night when I was pleasantly surprised by a bag of dog treats branded with CGB! I shouted “Eureka!” and was greeted with unsmiling faces around me that I would have the audacity to break the silence of the store with an exclamation of joy. They didn’t understand, why would this man scream in the store at the end of the dog treat aisle?
After 30 seconds of explaining why I was so overjoyed at the sight of these dog treats, the people around shook my hand and were pleased that they had learned something that night. It might have been a gift from above or it might have just been the fact that they were named “Holistic-Hide” dog treats.
Either way, there is nothing to hide about these dog treats whose maker clearly understood that their treats were a cut above the rest and needed to stand out deciding to use CGB for their branding. So thank you Petco, thank you Zoe (my dog) and thank you innocent bystanders for making the cause of discovering and advocating for the use of CGB such a worthwhile endeavor.
Copperplate Gothic Bold on a T-shirt!!!
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009 | Products | No Comments
If you ever wondered what it would be like to have Copperplate Gothic Bold on your very own T-Shirt you certainly have found one way to do it. We found a shirt that features (not in the right order) fonts that have been deemed cool by the creator of the shirt at one point or another.
I think the shirt should be re-ordered to “We’ve Supported Copperplate Gothic Bold all the way through it being cool and beyond.” This version of the shirt would be much more accurate and a better asset.
We do agree with the last statement that comic sans is pure crap. There has been no use or value for that font. If a font could be used to indicate failure, we believe that comic sans might be that font.
To wrap this post up we thought we would feature this shirt for it’s attempt at making a statement. That Copperplate Gothic Bold is the best font ever created and that all other fonts are inferior. This shirt doesn’t come out and say it directly, but it’s plausible for sure. So fire up the copper tea kettle and pick up a T for two and celebrate Copperplate Gothic Bold, you’ve earned it.
