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.

Chocolate Mexican Style Boldness!!!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Food | No Comments

Mijita is a fun word to say and it’s a fun site to visit with it’s rich and frequent use of Copperplate Gothic Bold. Not onlyl do they serve up rich chocolately treats for desert but they also feature some pretty kickass food as well. We’ve never been there, probably never will eat there, but we sure do like their enthusiasm for life bringing a little South America love mixed with some Copperlate Gothic Bold. I’ll take a side of the Refried Bold with my cervesca!

Mans born, man lives, man dies…and it’s all vanity. Cake!!!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Food, Music | No Comments

Short and sweet…literally. Cake is great and they use Copperplate Gothic Bold. Just let it simmer and contemplate how truly great this is.

“Man is born, man lives, man dies…and it’s all vanity.” Their new B-sides and rarities CD is great. The lyric from above is from a preacher they sampled and played along with. The song is called thrills and is on their album “B-Sides and Rarities” it’s perhaps the greatest cake song ever made.

Cake – Thrills on iTunes

While the album itself doesn’t necessarily use Copperplate, the fact that they have used Copperplate before and that the band is Cake, we will forgive them and offer it to you on iTunes.

Enjoy this great song and may you have your Cake, Copperplate Gothic Bold and eat it too.

Why Are Elephants Good Workers? They Work For Peanuts!!!

Thursday, August 14th, 2008 | Food | No Comments

I’ll tell you what this posting is …absolutely nuts!!!

These peanuts were found at the annual AUSA convention in DC. Locally grown and created, and were surprisingly fresh and tasty. The best kind of swag you can giveaway at a huge convention of men staring at large tanks, guns, and armor is food. People get hungry and they need to refresh throughout the day.

We refreshed not only on the Plantation Peanuts, but also on the wonderful font they chose to highlight the wonderful contents within, you guessed it, Copperplate Gothic Bold. Only suggestion we can to our friendly exhibitor is to make sure the products logo you’re hawking is near the beautiful font so it can be included on this site next time. Sometimes you feel like a nut.

A Segway uses a Gyro, so does Greek Food!!!

Wednesday, August 13th, 2008 | Food | No Comments

You say too-may-toe I say toh-mah-toh, you say hie-roh I say jie-roh. Whatever the Greeks were thinking or smoking they certainly got one thing right, they promoted their food with the worlds greatest font.

Now I may not know much about geography but I do know a thing or two about food. This particular specimen of Copperplate Gothic Bold might have been found in Turkey because in order to fully cook a Turkey you need a little Greece…yep I said it.

So thank you food court on the waterfront of the Potomac River in Washington DC for your extravagant signage promoting your wonderful Greek food. Your store has been placed on a very high pedestal with the likes of the finest restaurants in the world all sharing the passion and the love for Copperplate Gothic Bold. Now it’s time to get me a Gyro with a side of that Tzatziki sauce, now that stuff is cool…cool as a cucumber.

Disney has chosen for their Rat movie a wonderful font to bring parents, kids and grandparents in to see their wonderful film. Make no mistake, Disney has years and years experience creating beautiful masterpieces and of all the fonts in the entire world they could have used, they agreed on Copperplate Gothic Bold. I can only commend Disney, their partners and all that they represent for bringing such a beautiful font to a great movie for all ages.
