Old Standard TT Font

The project revisits classicist serif typography associated with late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century publications. Its discussion gives particular attention to the traditions of Greek and Cyrillic printing.

The Google Fonts catalog credits Alexey Kryukov. Read the official project description for the source account. The catalog lists this family as added on 2010-05-18; that is a directory date, not proof of when the design was first created.

The reviewed catalog lists 3 listed styles for Old Standard TT, with weight values 400, 700. Italic styles are included in that listing. The preview uses the listed static styles rather than inventing additional weights.

Listed script subsets are cyrillic, cyrillic-ext, latin, latin-ext, vietnamese. Subset names describe catalog coverage, not a guarantee that every language or specialist character is supported. Enter the exact names, punctuation, or script you need and check the result in your final application.

Try a page-like sample in the script your text uses. Check specialist characters and mathematical or scholarly requirements directly rather than assuming a historical-text role guarantees every glyph.

For a related comparison, inspect Cormorant and Arvo. These are same-category candidates for comparison, not an assertion that their spacing or design is interchangeable. Use the same sample phrase and output size so the comparison tests the layout rather than different words.

The verified repository includes Old Standard TT under SIL Open Font License 1.1. Use the official Google Fonts page to obtain the family and read the included license for the specific distribution. This site does not claim that a font with a similar name or a third-party download has the same license.

The specimen can copy a stylesheet request and CSS declaration for web use, or export a PNG of your sample. Ordinary clipboard text does not preserve a font family. For a clear comparison with decorative characters, read Unicode text versus real fonts. Install the font in the app that creates your final layout when you need editable text with these letterforms.
