Standard
Some words from CastleType:
CastleType was commissioned in 1991 by San Francisco Focus magazine to digitize three members of the Standard family. This is a Continental lineale that was popular in Switzerland in the 1950s and later in the United States. A cousin to the ubiquitous Helvetica, Standard is an alternative that is considerably warmer and a bit more idiosyncratic.
In 2008, CastleType released additional members of the Standard CT family to make it a complete typographic solution with three widths (normal, condensed, extended) of four weights each (Regular, Medium, Bold, and Extra Bold). Some of the original Standard fonts, particularly Standard Regular, appear to have been hastily designed; these have been greatly improved in the CastleType versions. The three lighter weights of the Extended subfamily were designed from scratch based on the new Standard CT Regular and Standard CT Extended Extra Bold.
The entire Standard CT family includes support for all European languages including Modern Greek (uppercase only) and languages that use the Cyrillic alphabet, OpenType features, arbitrary fractions, and a collection of geometrics, dingbats & fleurons.
