Pardon me asking a question on a different tangent: This old-school typography is very neat to see. I've seen this in many Dover Publication books & even Mir titles from USSR.
Is there a reliable way to replicate this style via Latex i.e. any choice of font & STY style files? For me this is very aesthetically pleasing experience. Thanks in advance.

- tiu 2y agohttps://github.com/tntaooa/tnt/ https://github.com/tntaooa/tnt/ Closest I know to an actual book in that style in modern LaTeX. The current edition (main.pdf of that repo) however replaced all the old styling by the looks of it, luckily the antique pdf is viewable here: https://github.com/tntaooa/tnt/blob/63675f2f7dd6b0490d096754572721e4ff86f2e4/main.pdf https://github.com/tntaooa/tnt/blob/63675f2f7dd6b0490d096754... The extracted style files are here (as a package): https://github.com/proafxin/antique_book https://github.com/proafxin/antique_book On a personal note, getting the text (for MIR style books) is the somewhat easy part, see https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/oldstandard/ https://tug.org/FontCatalogue/oldstandard/ The hard part is the symbols (er, math). For UK style old books (MacMillan style), there is the "literat" package, "Literaturnaya" fonts, which get close but the Math symbols are a miss.
