Breathe for Me (25 page)

The edges of a smile curl on my lips. Time to take my mind off what's lost and focus on the opportunity in front of me.

After all, there's work to do.

TALIAN
, old-style typeface. It was originally produced in 1912 by Georges Peignot for Deberny & Peignot, a Paris foundry. It was based on the copper engravings of the French artist Nicholas Cochin, from which the typeface also derives its name. In 1997, the typeface was expanded by Matthew Carter for Linotype and is also available from Adobe. Cochin is renowned for its small x-height and long, sharp ascenders—features that lend elegance to the overall look of the typeface. A distinct and quirky font, Cochin is known for its individuality amongst modern, transitional, serif typefaces.
