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.
