Sebastian font v1 release

Thanks so much!

Yes, congrats: I enjoyed reading your article.

@benwiggy , I know you used a score from the 1950s as a model, but may I ask you if you had a particular publisher or edition in mind when developing the final version of this font?

I’ve compared it with MTF Cadence, a font that looks like the font used by Ricordi (and others) in the first half of the 20th century. Sebastian is lighter, but more or less in the same vein. As if it is a very similar font, but with lighter inking.

Not exclusively one publisher; and I did look at a variety of scores for different aspects. So it’s a wonder it didn’t turn out a bit more random!
