Hi,

Just wanted to share with you my latest designs, MEZZO (early 90s music softs engraving style) & MEZZA (similar to Henle look?), I hope you like the pdf. Both fonts come with a normal (lighter) weight and a medium (a little thick) weight. Below are some pdf sample feating the standard weight:

Apologies for any missing engraving errors. Any remarks are welcome.

P.S: the difference between the two fonts are subtle, but they do not look the same, each font has its character

Font looks lovely - there is a glyph missing warning on the first page, and a set of brackets that have slipped off the note on the second page of the first example…

NorFonts · January 27, 2022, 3:43pm

Actually that missing glyph is a blank glyph… I will fix it and the slipped bracket too. Thanks @eddjcaine

No prob is there somewhere we can get hold of this font when finished? May just be personal taste but it could do with being paired with slightly longer stems and a different text font…

My first thought was that I really liked the music font, but not the text font. It feels much too condensed for me! Cramped, even.

NorFonts · January 27, 2022, 3:52pm

Dan, glad that you liked the music fonts, but the text I only kept the same fonts except for the Oboe score where I choose Editoriel New font, maybe a bad choice ? I could use just Acdemico or Didot. Yes, I also noticed the cramped look.

I will notify you when MEZZA & MEZZO SMuFL fonts will be available on my store @ https://norfonts.ma

Both fonts are still under correction, and test under Dor3.5.10 & Dor4. Thanks for you interest.

I don’t know, just feels like it should be something a little more modern. Still serif, just something that breathes more.

I like Academico, but I feel it’s a bit too “old” for this music font. Of course that’s very subjective and I’m no expert.

It would be helpful to see the same score in both Mezza and Mezzo

NorFonts · March 10, 2022, 4:32pm

…maybe…

Hey, @NorFonts (Nor Eddine),
Pretty nice looking fonts, colleague. Well done!
Keep creating great music fonts!
I would like to ask you something in private message, but I’ve noticed that it’s not possible to send you one. So, you could send me a message.

Best wishes,
Thurisaz
