This Man Is an Angel

This Man Is an Angel

This man is an angel, he spends every waking moment of his life creating and painting masterpieces of Copperplate Gothic Bold. Just look at his handiwork taking a beautiful font back to it’s roots where Frederic Goudy once created this beautiful enduring font with his bare hands. Risking life and limb, he tirelessley works to recreate Copperplate Gothic Bold branding on the side of the Paterson Historic Building.

If you look closely enough at the photo you can see a halo appear right above the mans green baseball cap. He has got to be an angel for making this work of art actually appear out of thin air on the side of the building. Painting Copperplate to this degree of detail in many countries is a sacred thing. Like Michaelangelo painted masterpieces, this man works on his the greatest achievement of his life painstainkingly recreating the work of Frederic Goudy himself.

So we implore the churches of the world, fire up the canonization process because this photo documents an angel, a saint here on earth doing great and magical things for the benefit of man kind. Thank you sir for your work and diligence promoting Copperplate Gothic Bold, it will not go unrecognized!
