Floating point types with explicit sizes (like integers)

Are there floating point type definitions in the standard which use the same format as integers?

For instance, we can specify unsigned and signed integers like uint8_t and int8_t which has the advantage of clearly telling the developer how big the integer will be (8 bits in this case).

Is there a way to do the same thing with floating point numbers?

For example, is there something like float32_t and float64_t which we can use instead of float and double?

I am aware that I could declare these myself, (e.g. using float32_t = float). However, I would prefer if there was something in the standard.
