Cochin v. Cheltenham

Cheltenham and Cochin are both serif fonts. Cochin has higher contrast and isn't as heavy as Cheltenham. The x-height on Cochin is lower. The set widths of both are about the same. The terminals of Cochin are flat and feel more calligraphic than Cheltenham's rounded teardrop terminals.

COCHIN WINS!
