Found out my favorite bumper sticker font is from 1903

I was looking up design stuff for a new bumper sticker idea and stumbled onto this article about the font Cooper Black. Turns out it was made all the way back in 1903 by a guy named Oswald Cooper. I always thought it was a 70s thing because I see it on so many old funny stickers. It made me think about how some designs just stick around forever without us knowing why. Has anyone else found a weird fact about a font or design element you use all the time?

Well I just found out I've been WRONG about basically every font I thought I knew, so maybe don't take MY word for anything design related. I usually can't even tell Comic Sans from a ransom note.

Think Cooper Black came out in the 1920s actually not 1903.
