I didn't figure out it was a font until the very end, I kept expecting an ad for some kind of malt drink.

I love this font too (in admittedly an ironic way), and while I wished the story went someplace, it sure was good'n'funky like a drunken headless chicken in love should be. Right on.

My, that is a prevalent font.

Fonts are often classified by thickness (weight). Typical adjectives include thin, light, book, regular (normal), bold, heavy, black and ultra-black.

As for "Cooper", it's named after the designer, Oz Cooper.
