NorFonts for Dorico

How NorFonts works in Dorico

Dorico uses SMuFL music fonts, so compatible NorFonts families can be selected as the score’s music font while your notation remains fully editable. The supplied font metadata allows Dorico to recognise the family and use the appropriate symbol mappings and recommended engraving information.

That makes NorFonts useful when you want a different visual identity without changing notation software: engraved families can give a score a more traditional printed character, while handwritten families can create the feel of jazz charts, Broadway parts and hand-copied music.

Which Dorico music font should you choose?

Choose an engraved music font for classical scores, publishing and refined printed parts. Choose a handwritten music font for jazz, commercial arranging, lead sheets and copyist-style scores. You can also browse the complete SMuFL Music Fonts collection.
