Digital versions by Bitstream (1990–1993, Light and Demi plus italics, discontinued), ParaType (Tagir Safayev and Lyubov Kuznetsova, 1994, like Bitstream’s but with added Cyrillics), Elsner+Flake (four weights plus italics), and ITC. The latter covers the four weights plus italics and has most of the original alternates.
