D'après Mr Linotype :


Nicolas Cochin :

Georges Peignot designed the font Nicolas Cochin based on copper
engravings of the 18th century and Charles Malin cut the typeface in
1912 for the Paris foundry Deberny & Peignot. The font is named after
the French engraver Charles Nicolas Cochin (1715-1790) although its
style had little to do with that of the copper artist. Nicholas Cochin
is a freer variation of another Peignot font, Cochin, a bit more
balanced and elegant.

Nicolas Cochin (1715-1790) although its style had little to do with that
of the copper artist's. The font displays a curious mix of style
elements and could be placed as a part of the typographical
Neorenaissance movement. Cochin is especially large and wide and was
especially popular at the beginning of the 20th century.

d'après Mlle Adobe, c'est Matthew Carter qui aurait fait la version
numérique de cette dernière.
