I will leave this question unanswered for a certain time, hoping that other people will also feel invited to share their knowledge on this. | |

| Apr 24, 2014 at 22:13 | comment | added | DA01 | Yes, that's the likely answer. I'm not aware of any particular type naming convention, but now that I think about it, the sample typefaces only have one weight and style available. Perhaps that's the significance of the 'One'. | |

| Apr 24, 2014 at 22:04 | comment | added | DA01 | I don't think either of those are the case here. Versioning is typically written with numerals. And these are OTF (Or TTF) fonts. | |
