Cooper Black is an ultrabold serif typeface intended for display use that was designed by Oswald Bruce Cooper and released by the Barnhart Brothers & Spindler type foundry in 1922.
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway officially adopted the Cooper Black font for its equipment lettering in 1958. It was first introduced to replace the older circular cross heralds and later became iconic on the railroad's "Yellowbonnet" locomotives and the revived "Super Fleet" Warbonnet livery.
