> Is there some book or magazine that associates the font Cochin with the horror genre? I had been reading an anthology from Weird Tales magazine which uses Cochin. Then, last night I saw a trailer for some upcoming horror movie that used Cochin in all of its quotes and lettering. That is only two instances, so maybe I am jumping to conclusions. I could not find a recommendation of Cochin for macabre subjects at the Adobe or Linotype sites. Just curious.

According to "Encyclopaedia of Type Faces" (Jaspert, Berry, Johnson):
"This type (Cochin) was also known as Sonderdruck. The Deberny &
Peignot version of which this type appears to be a copy, is called
Moreau-le-Jeune, and was also cut around 1912 as Gravure by Amsterdam,
and these types also have an open version. The Lanston Monotype Cochin
was irst shown 1915, and adapted two years later by Sol Hess, with the
bold following in the 1920s. Nicolas Cochin of the same foundry,
followd in 1929." (The samples displayed in the book was of Ludwig &
Mayer's version (1929) and others. These all refer to the metal type
versions, of course.
