Blippo Black is a Bauhaus-inspired font created in 1969 by Joe Taylor. It was based on David L. Burke's Burko (1967), which in turn was based on experimental alphabets of the Bauhaus school in the 1920s.

The goal of the Bauhaus design was minimalism -- reducing letters to simple geometric shapes. By far the most successful font built on Bauhaus principles is Futura (1927), which remains one of the most widely used fonts today.

The Bauhaus school was shut down in 1933 by the Nazis, who promoted the use of traditional German fraktur fonts, until in 1941 they suddenly changed their minds and declared that fraktur had been Judenlettern all along.

Joe Taylor, the creator of Blippo Black, went on to become a creationist paleontologist, and ran the Mt. Blanco Fossil Museum.

About 1979, while working on some projects about America's true, Christian heritage, I had the privilege of meeting with the "little ladies", as they were affectionately known. Verna Hall and Rosalie Slater published two thick volumes about Christian Self-Government, full of America's most profound documents. Despite their "grandmotherly" appearance they were historians in the extreme. They knew not only political history, but art history as well. In conversations with them it came out that I was the designer of a typeface called “Blippo Black” (1969). They perked right up when I told them my idea for the face had come from an unpublished design from the thirties originating in the German Bauhaus school. Oh, yes! They knew “all about” the decadence of pre-nazi, German culture, and how it led to Hitler's Third Reich! My design was not good, they would have me know. Witness the lack of serifs on the ascenders and descenders. This lack of "toes" on the letters was unacceptable, theologically. See, to a real, Christian presuppositionalist, nothing is secular. Even lettering design must be theologically “correct”. Better, they advised me, were the Roman classical letters such as Times Roman, commonly used for the copy in most newspapers. None of this pre-Nazi, sans-serif stuff!

The font on the Fossil Museum is Korinna, another pre-Nazi German design, but at least this one has serifs.

Joe Taylor died in 2023, and the museum was closed down.
