+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)
