ABOUT

Urtext Music Fonts [Stephen Carisse]

Urtext Music Fonts sell fonts that are compatible with most scorewiters, including Sibelius and Finale. All font packages contain a complete music font as well as supplementary fonts with ornaments as well as special text characters---over 275 characters in most designs. The fonts are Urtext Abdelazer, Urtext Brumaire, Urtext Clementi, Urtext Goldilind, and Urtext Kapellmeister (+II), all published in 2013. Other fonts include Burnside, Busoni, Leipzig 1770, and Leipzig 1803.

They write: Urtext Music Fonts began when we sought to publish a collector's edition of transcriptions from J.S. Bach. We could not find a commercial music font that matched the quality of the private fonts controlled by the major music publishers, so we created our first designer-quality music font: Kapellmeister, based on the classic musical typography of the historic Bach-Gesellschaft edition of Bach's complete works. Since then we have added designs based on Baroque, Classical and 19th century musical editions, as well as modern styles.
