Sold By: Ancient Groove MusicNepomuk is a text font inspired by the type commonly found in music plate engraving from the late 19th to the mid 20th-century.
Based on characters designed by Florian Kretlow, the family has been expanded by Ben Byram-Wigfield. Bold and Bold Italic weights have been created; kerning and tracking has been improved, and a greater range of characters added. Glyphs have been revised throughout. Additions includes more diacritics and non-Roman characters (for all your Czech and Icelandic composers), and punctuation, including non-breaking hyphens. There are also extra characters of use in music, such as Unicode music accidentals, and versicle and response symbols.
The text is deliberately ‘quite tight’, so that it can be used for lyrics without overly distorting note spacing; users may want to apply letter spacing (tracking) for titling and other page furniture.
The accidentals can be accessed using the ligatures $b, $n, and $s, or directly using their Unicode values U+266D – U+266F.

Version History
Current version: v.2.078
- Fix for Eastern European characters based on capital L.
v.2.076:
- The Bold, Bold SC, and Bold Italic styles have been updated. They are now bolder, and with some of the curve paths improved.
- The other styles remain at v. 2.070.
The font filenames are the same as before, and should overwrite any previous versions.
v.2.07:
- Improved internal naming structures, which should fix listing and selection of the font styles, particularly on Windows and MS Office software.
- Enlarged set of Latin glyphs and diacritics, for most European languages (particularly Hungarian, Polish and Lithuanian.)
- Assorted improvements to various non-alphanumeric glyphs.
- Please note that the Style names of the Small Caps variants have been changed to SC and Bold SC. If you are replacing earlier versions of Nepomuk, you will need to restart after installing the fonts, in order to clear any cached data.
v2.051: Some users have encountered a situation where the Small Caps fonts conflict with the normal lowercase fonts. This has now been fixed. Only the RegularSC and BoldSC fonts have been altered. The other fonts remain at v2.050.
v2.05: First available on Notation Central.
Improved the comma and curly quotes; added some Greek and IPA chars to the Regular face.
v2.04: This release improves kerning (yet again!), fixing several crashes with the letter f, and improving the spacing between A, W and V. The T caron has been added. Discretionary ligatures for fj and ij are now available.
v2.03: Two new variants with Small Caps in place of lowercase (and vice versa!) for applications that can’t access OpenType features. Kerning improved.
v2.02: More kerning revisions! Also Unicode Roman Numerals to Regular and Italic styles.
v2.01: More improvements to kerning; Small Caps have been added to Regular and Bold styles.

If you want traditional look to your Classical scores, this is the only text font that will do. It is my default text font in Dorico.

An excellent and classy font for a professional looking score. I am using it in all my scores now. Admittedly, I liked v.2.07 a little better with a slightly more slender and sharper look on bold type.
Vincenzo Di Sieno (verified owner) –
Very nice font thanks I will definitely use it for my next works.

I installed the Nepomuk text font yesterday and tried it on a turn of the 20th century opera score which suddenly looked like it could have come from a commercial publisher of the period. I am very pleased with and even excited by the new font.

I installed the Nepomuk font yesterday and tried it out on turn of the 20th century opera scores. Nepomuk adds a very period look that closely resembles commercial notation of the period. I am very pleased with and even excited by the results.
Emil Yordanov –
Very well! Is it possible to add Cyrillic glyphs also?
Paolo Tramannoni (verified owner) –
A fine font, with an unmistakeable look, perfectly matched with music fonts intended to simulate the end of 19th-beginning of 20th century music typography. Very rich, and perfectly designed.

Unmistakably elegant, matches well with sans-serif fonts and most important it’s legible!
