Why OpenType?
It's the most versatile font format, which works consistently on all platforms and applications. No matter if you are writing in text processor or doing professional graphic design work, you can use the same font file for everything. Once you pass your .indd document made on MacOS to a colleague working on a PC (and having our fonts licensed), you'll see and print it equally and precisely to the letter.

TrueType fonts.
TrueTypes are free on demand along with your OTF purchase. TrueTypes have reduced functionality - no smallcaps, no cyrillics, no oldstyle figures, no ligatures, no fun. TrueType is not a typophiles' font format, but works best in office applications. At Stormtype, it is a matter of course to supply full TrueType counterparts along to any font Multilicence.

What is "Pro" extension?
Some foundries put their -Pro extension to any font having just a couple of extra accented characters beyond the ISO-Latin-1 codepage.
Before we call a font -Pro, it must contain at least true small caps, ligatures and oldstyle figures, while full Central- and East-European diacritics is a nature of ALL our fonts. In addition, our -Pro fonts may contain non-latin scripts such as Greek and Cyrillic.




Single-byte font.
A font that represents each character with a single byte, and is therefore limited to 256 or fewer characters. (example - JBaskerville (discontinued))Single-byte font

Double-byte font. A font that uses two bytes (16 bits) to represent each character, thereby allowing more than the 256 characters. (example - Baskerville 120 Pro)
Double-byte font

What practical benefit it delivers?
All languages are set with the same typeface, so philologists don't need to switch between different fonts. Scientists will enjoy properly designed superiors, inferiors and fractions, while type gourmets may relish dozens of ligatures, doublets and ornaments. (example - Baskerville 120 Pro)
