I'm trying to troubleshoot proofs for an article in a Springer (linguistics) journal. It'd be useful to test out some potential solutions myself rather than describing what I want to the typesetters and asking them to figure things out.

However, I can't figure out how to approximate the Springer math font. It looks similar in some respects (e.g., delimiters) to newtxmath, but other things look unlike any package I'm familiar with (e.g., the Greek letters, mathsf/mathtt).

Is there any way to approximate Springer's latex style (in particular, the math font), or is this impossible without whatever proprietary tools they're using?

Editing to add a photo of a representative formula. The delimiters and the alphabetic letters are very newtxmath, the \lambda and binary/relational operations are not. enter image description here

Accepting totally the considerations of the comment of @Pavel Rudnev, you can choose one of these two code.

In addition to the standard symbol \lambda with the package mtpro2 (version not complete called [lite]), there is also the symbol \uplambda.

enter image description here First code

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[lite]{mtpro2}
\begin{document}
\[\uplambda, \rightarrow\]
\end{document}

Using the package newtxmath with the option [libertine] you can obtain a similar symbol as this image below:

enter image description here Second code

\documentclass[11pt,a4paper]{article}
\usepackage[libertine]{newtxmath}
\begin{document}
\[\uplambda\]
\end{document}

  • I agree it's based on mtpro2 with some borrowings from newtxmath and perhaps elsewhere. (Interesting, the \uplambda is vertically squished in the proofs for some reason or other.) The \rightarrow is the giveaway. – SEC Mar 10 '19 at 22:04
  • Thank you for to have accepted my answer. However the answer is given bt @Pavel Rudnev :-). For libertine I have taken severals hours to find it. – Sebastiano Mar 10 '19 at 22:08
