This font package provides the Old Standard family of fonts designed by Alexey Kryukov and revised by Robert Alessi. Old Standard reproduces a specific type of Modern (classicist) style of serif typefaces, very commonly used in various editions of the late 19th and early 20th century, but almost completely abandoned later. However, this lettertype still has at least two advantages: 1. it can be considered a good choice for typesetting scientific papers, especially in social and humanitarian sciences, as its specific features are closely associated in people's eyes with old books they learned on; 2. the most beautiful examples of Greek and Cyrillic lettertypes were all based on the classicist style, so for those scripts, "Modern" fonts are much more appropriate than any contemporary (e.g. Times-based) designs.
