Jaguar includes a number of new font features
but one that hasn't been noted very widely is the new font Cochin. Linotype
has the history on this face and places it's original developement as
part of the typographical Neorenaissance movement. In 1913 Georges Peignot
produced a typeface based on Nicolas Cochin’s eighteenth century
engravings. In 1977, Matthew Carter expanded this historic form into a
three part series.
It's available in regular, italic, bold and bold italic styles. Great
fonts aren't free - a quick search on myfonts.com
shows that the full family would cost around $80 USD if purchased on its
own. If you are new to Mac OS X, Cochin joins an exceptional
collection of some of the best typefaces in the industry.
