Graphira 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! Graphira & Graphira Std work with Finale v27 and Dorico™ Pro version as an alternative to Finale Maestro and Bravura font, or any other SMuFL font.

INSTALLING GRAPHIRA FONTS

It’s easy to install Graphira fonts since both fonts come with 3 installers, 1 installer for macOS and 2 installers for Windows.

Note for macOS users:

During installation, you may encounter a popup stating, “…pkg can’t be opened because Apple cannot verify it for malicious software.” To bypass this message, right-click or control-click on the *.pkg file and select “Open” from the context menu. You’ll be presented with a similar message, but this time, you’ll have the option to ignore the warning by clicking the “Open” button. If the message persists, proceed to System Settings > Privacy and Security > Security. Here, you’ll find an “Open anyway” option for the pkg installer displayed.
