About Cochin

Cochin is a serif typeface designed by Georges Peignot for the Paris foundry G. Peignot et Fils (future Deberny & Peignot) in 1912. It is based on the copperplate engravings of 18th century French artist Charles-Nicolas Cochin, from whom the typeface also takes its name. The font has a small x-height with long ascenders. Georges Peignot also created the design Nicolas-Cochin as a looser variation in the same style.
