I'm looking for something other than minion pro.
;-)
It also needs to have serifs (if not clear by the
indication in the subject). What do you all use (free or
otherwise)?
Well, apart from Minion Pro ...
- default Century Schoolbook,
but I think that's not optimal for lyrics because it's too wide.
Even without condensed variants there are narrower fonts
available
- Linux Libertine
Actually I like that very much because it's quite elegant and
unobtrusively modern.
Not very narrow either, though
- Old Standard TT
can be used for a rather old-fashioned look
but it's not narrow either, so not 100% suitable for lyrics
either.
Bottom line: I am still in need of a good replacement font.
Some time ago, I fell in love with the Alegreya family from
fontsquirrel.org – they look terrific and are rather narrow in my
eyes. There is also a sans serif variant.
Yours, Simon
