Cochin Font.



















"Cochin - This is a nice looking typeface originally designed by Georges Peignot in 1913. Peignot based the font on eighteenth century copper engravings done by Nicolas Cochin, then Charles Malin went on to cut the font. Cochin is a wide and large typeface that enjoyed great popularity in the early 20th century. Matthew Carter went on to expand and improve this font in 1977. Cochin has many stylistic nuances and is classified as part of the Neorenaissance movement in typography."(Urban font,2007)
