Richard Yeend受美国西部大森林的启发，于2002年创建了Italienne Std。它的风格很简洁，也很有装饰性。它的字体厚重，让人联想到其他意大利风格的字体，比如Westside。19世纪早期，意大利风格的字体开始流行起来，当时的设计师们开始尝试在字体内部和文字之间进行极度反差。有趣的是，类似设计的字体在20世纪70年代和19世纪70年代一样普遍，所以你可以将Italienne Std应用于从乡村音乐会到迪斯科舞会的各种场合。Italienne Std是Liinotype GmbH公司Take Type 5家族产品的一部分。

Inspired by the large American wood type of the Wild West, Richard Yeend created Italienne Std in 2002. Italienne Std is both very condensed and very decorative. It sports heavy, band like serifs, reminiscent of other italienne-style fonts, like Westside. Italienne-style fonts rose in popularity during the early 19th Century, when designers were first beginning to experiment with extreme contrast within letterforms, and across lines of text. Interestingly enough, letterforms with similar designs were just as common during the 1970s as during the 1870s, so you may use Italienne Std for applications ranging from country music concerts to disco parties. Italienne Std is part of the Take Type 5 collection from Liinotype GmbH."
