Thanks! I really enjoy this look. I used Dorico to produce the example, and it's little to no tweaks!

Is the font complete, such as Maestro (compatible)?
It is technically only the clefs, basic accidentals, noteheads, and :piano :forte . Other than that, I'm supplementing with Bravura, which matches the visual aesthetic of these old scores.

Re: Flat slurs

Flat slurs are available in Dorico as a default and custom item. But, the Ravel example is not easy to capture in Dorico ATM.

It is compatible with Dorico, as it is SMuFL compliant! This is Abraham Lee's work, and I'm not sure if he'll be selling. I'm sure he'd be willing to share it with you!

I would absolutely buy this if it were SMuFL compatible! I think classical music needs a "handwritten" font that doesn't smack of jazz! Very humble and elegant font... very humanizing.

Introducing Sovietta!

Hi all! I'm new here, and I'm excited to share a font I just had created, called "Sovietta." It's reminiscent of the old Soviet plate engravings, but without all of the sloppy plate work which was common in those rushed plates. The inspiration came from the charm of some of Shostakovich's ...

Re: Feedback and suggestions on hand-drawn clefs

I just had some work done where I got new clefs and noteheads, with everything from bravura. What do you think?
