omg i have noticed this trend. why is it so popular now?! maybe it's the midgit serifs. hmmm....or maybe everyone is going to return to copper engraving and so theyre just practicing...eh?

i always use it as a body text font, then for the headers i often combine it with comic sans and then for the small type (footnotes) i always use Gill Sans Heavy.

good, because that's the right way to use copperplate.

someone recently insisted on using that on their business card, despite my pleas to pick anything else.

back in the early 90s Michael Vanderbyl set a whole annual report in it

Has anyone else noticed an increasing trend in the use of Kabel? I do believe that will be up on the chopping block in a few years as well.

I start to go through withdrawal if I go 5 minutes without seeing this typeface. Luckily that isn't usually a problem. This town also loves Papyrus.
