Vintage BH FOR DORICO & FINALE V27 FEATURE 3 SMUFL COMPLIANT MUSIC FONTS: “Vintage BH”, “Vintage BH STD” & “Vintage BH Light”.

Vintage BH fonts are elegant engraver music fonts with a Standard (Vintage BH), a Heavy (Vintage BH STD) and a Lighter appearance (Vintage BH Light), yet more robust than some other music fonts, but more accurately representing a vintage look of smooth music notation style. Vintage BH fonts can be used for modern sophisticated Pop or Rock, Jazz Bands, Piano and Vocals, Choirs, Marching Bands, and all types of musical ensembles even Symphonies! Vintage BH comes with a unique subtle individuality, but with a softer and fatter look, making it a great use for school manuals and education materials. Both fonts look fun and easy and will not scare your students! Vintage BH fonts work with Finale v27 and Dorico™ Pro version as an alternative to Finale Maestro and Bravura font, or any other SMuFL font.
