Google Fonts · Alexey Kryukov · 2008
A faithful revival of nineteenth-century scholarly serif typography, well-suited to academic and literary publishing.
About
Old Standard TT replicates the refined, high-contrast letterforms typical of classical European book and journal typography from the 1800s. Its Cyrillic and extended Latin coverage makes it a practical choice for academic publishers working across multiple languages. The three-style family — regular, italic, and bold — covers essential typographic needs for long-form text, though the contrast may feel high on screen at small sizes.
Classification
