README
This is the README for the CooperHewitt package, version 2022-10-18. This package provides LaTeX, pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX and LuaLaTeX support for the Cooper Hewitt family of sans serif fonts, designed by Chester Jenkins. Cooper Hewitt is a contemporary sans serif, with characters composed of modified-geometric curves and arches. Initially commissioned by Pentagram to evolve his Polaris Condensed typeface, Chester Jenkins created a new digital form to support the newly transformed Smithsonian Design Museum. To install this package on a TDS-compliant TeX system download the file "tex-archive"/install/fonts/cooperhewitt.tds.zip, where the preferred URL for "tex-archive" is http://mirror.ctan.org. Unzip the archive at the root of an appropriate texmf tree, likely a personal or local tree. If necessary, update the file-name database (e.g., texhash). Update the font-map files by enabling the Map file CooperHewitt.map. To use, add \usepackage{CooperHewitt} to the preamble of your document. This makes Cooper Hewitt the default sans family. To also set Cooper Hewitt as the main text font, use \usepackage[sfdefault]{CooperHewitt} LuaLaTeX and xeLaTeX users who might prefer type1 fonts or who wish to avoid fontspec may use the type1 option. Other options include: semibold heavy medium light thin Defaults are book and bold. Options scaled=<number> or scale=<number> may be used to adjust fontsizes to match a serifed font. Slanted variants are not supported; the designed italic variants will be automatically substituted. The only figure style supported is tabular-lining. Font encodings supported are OT1, T1, TS1, LY1. Macro \cooperhewitt selects the Cooper Hewitt font family. The original fonts are available at https://www.cooperhewitt.org/open-source-at-cooper-hewitt/cooper-hewitt-the-typeface-by-chester-jenkins/ and are licensed under the SIL Open Font License, (version 1.1); the text may be found in the doc directory. The type1 versions were created using cfftot1 and re-named in accordance with the Reserved Font Name clause of the licence. The support files were created using autoinst and are licensed under the terms of the LaTeX Project Public License. The maintainer of this package is Bob Tennent (rdt at cs.queensu.ca)
