Philippe Cochy is a French type designer best known for creating Pecita, a unique handwritten script font that mimics natural pen strokes with the help of advanced OpenType features like contextual alternates and ligatures. Originally released under the SIL Open Font License, Pecita is remarkable for its broad linguistic coverage, supporting not only Latin but also Greek, Cyrillic, and phonetic symbols, making it both expressive and versatile. Cochy later expanded his work with Aghja, another fluid and rounded connected script that continues his exploration of organic, handwritten type design. His official website pecita.eu offers a closer look at Pecita in use and reflects his dedication to creative, open typography.
