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.
On a personal note, getting the text (for MIR style books) is the somewhat easy part, see 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.

The extracted style files are here (as a package): https://github.com/proafxin/antique_book
