2 reviews for The Copyist (SMUFL) Font
This is a really clean font in Dorico, easy to install and gives a nice ‘quality’ style to my lead sheets and solo transcriptions. Definitely recommended, a nice alternative to Dorico’s own jazz font Petaluma.
I’m glad I was the first person who bought The Copyist font.
This 100% SMUFL jazz writing font and it is just perfect.
I especially love the sharp descending line of the treble clef.
It looks aggressive in a good way.It has a very distinctive and graphically high quality scores.
The Copyist is a great jazz font.
