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: it can be considered a good choice for
typesetting scientific papers, especially on social and humanitarian sciences,
as its specific features are closely associated in people's eyes with old
books they learned on;

 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.

 The name "Old Standard" was selected as opposed to the "Obyknovennaya Novaya"
("New Standard") typeface, widely used in Soviet typography, which represents
another, slightly different type of the same Modern style. Of course this name
doesn't look very original, but it seems to be a good choice for a revival of
the most common lettertype of the early 20th century.
