Old Standard TT Bold

Old Standard TT is a revival of a specific type of Modern (classicist) style serif typefaces, which were widely utilized in the late 19th and early 20th centuries for various scientific and literary editions. Designed by Alexey Kryukov, the typeface is specifically modeled after the types used by the Russian Academy of Sciences, aiming to provide a high-quality open-source solution for typesetting classical studies and historical documents.

The Bold variant of Old Standard TT emphasizes the vertical stress and high contrast between thick and thin strokes, a hallmark of the Didone genre. Its robust nature makes it highly effective for headings and emphasized text within academic journals, providing a scholarly and authoritative aesthetic. It is especially valued for its extensive support of the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets, making it a favorite among researchers and historians.
