About the family


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 classic sans serifs, Standard is an alternative that is considerably warmer and a bit more idiosyncratic. CastleType has subsequently released additional members of the Standard CT family to make it a complete typographic solution with four widths (normal, Condensed, Semi-Extended, Extended) of nine weights each (Hairline through Extra Bold), plus Extra Condensed Medium and Stencil Bold. The entire Standard CT family includes support for most European languages, OpenType features, arbitrary fractions, and a collection of geometrics, dingbats & fleurons.
