This font was created primarily to hold Kardonian-language text. It does, however, support most Latin and Cyrillic-script text. It's based on an older font by the name of Buran USSR. With its angular shapes, it is a somewhat stylized form of Kardonian, but works well. It'll take a lot of work to get Kardonian to play nice with Rokajang Shika anyway, since curves are my beloathed.
AH Kardon Standard is already pretty bold, so it can look unreadable in bold tags depending on how your font renderer generates bold fonts... I will likely make a thinner version at some point, but not right now.
AH Kardon Standard's version of the Kardonian Interastral Standard Alphabet was the first to include ligatures that stack the letters used in diphthongs and the affricate clusters /ts dz/. This will come to Truth and Ideals and AH Rokajang Shika soon, likely not using unencoded codepoints like AH Kardon Standard does because Truth and Ideals in particular has a morbillion characters. Even if it does so, it isn't recommended to place the diphthongs on your keyboard. (I really should upload my Keyman and xKeyboard scripts at some point...)
