MTF-Ross is a music font derived from specimens found in Ted Ross’s book The Art of Music Engraving and Processing.
MTF-Ross is bundled with Lora, a well-balanced contemporary serif font with roots in calligraphy. It is a text typeface with moderate contrast well suited for body text. Its brushed curves complement the weathered appearance of MTF-Ross while still maintaining optimal legibility, and its relative width suits the music well.
Music Type Foundry
Music Type Foundry was founded on the belief that computer engraved music doesn’t have to look like it was made on a computer and that each piece of music should look as unique as the person who engraved it. With an eye for artistic and functional detail and a relentless desire to get things done right, Music Type Foundry fonts are inspired by hand-engraved scores so that you can create with some of the most engaging designs found anywhere.
MTF fonts are fully SMuFL-compliant, so you can use them with ease, and switch freely among them, in any modern music notation software that supports the SMuFL standard, like Dorico and MuseScore (from version 4.6 onwards), and work equally well on Mac and Windows.
Each MTF font comes carefully paired with a complementary text font, along with automatic engraving settings to draw out the finest characteristics of the typeface.
