Thanks, odod. And Merry Christmas to you and all of the Notat.io family!

Odod, this really looks great!

AFAIK the only font that comes close to this handwritten look is Max Keenlyside's "Rodgers & Hammerstein" font (Download: http://www.maxpiano.ca/Handwritten.zip ). But R&H doesn't look so elegant, it's more the handwritten Broadway scores style that it tries to imitate.
The text font ("Magnus") is probably identical though.

There were two threads on Facebook's Music Engraving Tips recently about "beauty or not beauty" of handwritten fonts in typeset music.
Your font is definitely an enrichment.

I agree completely with jan. odod's new font is an instant classic, and I want to buy a copy as soon as it is available for Finale.

P.S. Thanks for the contributed discussions on the forums. They're nice perusing material now and again.

Old thread, but came across a book claimed to be written by Giuseppe Tartini, edited by Decio Agostino Trento; found a peculiar treble clef and thought of this board, so here 'tis:

Did anything ever come of this? I love it.

I'm relatively new to the forum, so I hadn't seen this thread. Wow! What a beautiful font from odod!

I would note that fonts like this (and particularly fonts made from really messy handwritten notation) would be very interesting for generating ground-truth data for training OMR neural nets to read handwritten music.

A challenge: someone do a Leonard Bernstein font (his notation is almost unreadable, but hey it's a classic!)

Is this good enough ?

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.
