![]() Libre Franklin is available in nine weights with matching italics. And of course some fonts appear smaller than others at the same point size. Syne is available in five weights and a single italic style (called tactile ). A 16pt lyric on a 75% staff size will appear as 12pt, unless you set a Fixed size for your font. One other thing to remember is that Finale reduces the lyric size along with the staff reduction. It's a very crisp, modern face, and the Display style has a nice metric that avoids displacing notes. (Conversely, other styles of these fonts suffer from being too thick.)īulmer MT Display: This is the one I have chosen for my house style. Spanning both the genres of handwriting fonts and calligraphy fonts, Calligraffiti is an elegant and simple free single-weight font with 228 glyphs, designed by Open Window. (That's why I've changed my mind on using this: it doesn't fit with my titling and expressions.)īodoni Book, Monotype Modern Condensed: These modern faces are quite good, though the high contrast can sometimes be difficult to read, where the lines are thin. Calligraffiti is an elegant and simple free single-weight font with 228 glyphs. It might not sit well with other typefaces. ![]() ITC Clearface: This works well, though it has a very particular, strong look, which is perhaps a bit informal. ![]() Similarly, the "Caption" styles are slightly expanded: Minion Condensed Caption is essentially identical to Minion Display. Minion Pro Display: The "Display" styles of some of the OpenType fonts are slightly condensed, but not as much as the actual "Condensed" styles. Better than Finale Lyrics, which is also a condensed TNR. Times New Roman MT Condensed: The condensed face of this font is very good. Century Book (non-condensed) is very similar to New Century Schoolbook, both of which are a little too fat, IMO. ITC Century Book Condensed: Perhaps a little too condensed, but one of the best for lyrics. I've been thinking about lyrics fonts a little bit more.
