I've been working on completing another of Florian Kretlow's typeface projects, based on letterforms used in traditional plate engraving.

I've revised the design, created Bold and Bold Italic styles, added a fairly comprehensive set of accents and glyphs (for all your Czech and Icelandic composers). There are now kerning-pair metrics, small caps, and useful glyphs such as non-breaking hyphens, versicle/response symbols, accidentals, roman numerals, and more.

It works very well across the board: lyrics, tempi, expressions, dynamic text, as well as titling (with some tracking).

It's available to download here, if anyone wants it.

Thanks very much! Do an old guy a favor, will you? I went to the link you provided and I can't figure out how to download the files. What am I missing?

Thanks

Motet, that still doesn't give me a download button. However, I found I can download each file separately so I'm good to go.

Thanks

I got a download button. Maybe a browser difference.

Sorry: I've changed the link in the original post to the Release page, where you should be able to download the zip file directly.

I've produced an update to the font family:

There are now two new styles: SmallCaps and SmallCaps Bold.

As none of the major notation software supports OpenType features like small caps, we have to use the old trick from 8-bit Type-1 fonts of having a separate style with small caps in the lowercase codepoints.

There are also a few improvements to kerning and other fixes.

Link at the top of the thread.
