Cochin is a Transitional serif typeface. It was originally produced in 1912 by Georges Peignot for the Paris foundry G. Peignot et Fils (future Deberny & Peignot) and was based on the copperplate engravings of French 17th century artist Nicolas Cochin, from which the typeface also takes its name. The font has a small x-height with long ascenders.〔 Peignot also created the design 'Nicolas-Cochin' as a looser variation in the same style. The typeface is used in the Harry Potter covers produced by Bloomsbury Publishing. In 1977 Cochin was adapted and expanded by Matthew Carter for Linotype, and this is the version best known today as a system font on OS X. Other companies issued versions of the design in the metal type era. The original and 'Nicolas-Cochin' designs were also digitised by LTC and Linotype, and other versions are available from others including URW++, which adds an additional black weight not available from Linotype. Sol Hess designed a bold design in the same style. Badr is an Arabic font from Linotype by Osman Husseini which uses Cochin for its Latin alphabet. Cochin was previously a font option in iBooks for the iPad but was replaced in version 1.5 when Athelas, ITC Charter, Iowan Old Style, and Seravek were added. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cochin (typeface)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
