+Old Standard is supposed to reproduce the actual printing style of the
+early 20th century, reviving 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.
+
+It supports typesetting of Old and Middle English, Old Icelandic,
+Cyrillic (with historical characters, extensions for Old Slavonic and
+localised forms), Gothic transliterations, critical editions of
+Classical Greek and Latin, and many more.
+
+Old Standard works with TeX engines that directly support OpenType
+features, such as XeTeX and LuaTeX.
