Vintage Plate (SMuFL) Fonts

Description [macOS & Windows] Vintage Plate FOR DORICO & FINALE V27 FEATURE 3 SMUFL COMPLIANT MUSIC FONTS: “Vintage Plate”, “Vintage Plate STD” & “Vintage Plate Light”. Vintage Plate fonts are elegant engraver music fonts with Standard, Heavy, and Lighter appearances. They’re more robust than some other music fonts but more accurately represent a vintage look of smooth music notation. Vintage Plate fonts are suitable for modern sophisticated Pop, Rock, Jazz, Piano, Vocals, Choirs, Marching Bands, and all types of musical ensembles, even Symphonies. They have a unique subtle individuality with a softer and fatter look, making them great for school manuals and education materials. Both fonts look fun and easy, so they won’t scare students. Vintage Plate fonts work with Finale v27 and Doricoâ„¢ Pro as an alternative to Finale Maestro and Bravura fonts, or any other SMuFL font.
