I really like the design of Microsoft's Sitka font. I am searching for a mathematical font that would fit it well.

I use fontspec and unicode-math to select the fonts.

What I've tried so far:

  • I enjoy the combination with euler; however, its style of numbers is a deal-breaker.
  • Pairing with TeX Gyre Schola Math is very nice, but there is a mismatch between the ratio of uppercase to lowercase height between the two fonts. It's rather visible in inline math, and I can't manage to fix it with unicode-math+fontspec. Schola was the best fit of all TeX Gyre … Math fonts.
  • STIX Two Math seems to be a really nice combination.
  • Latin Modern and other fonts mentioned on unicode-math's website range from bad to very bad of a pairing.

Do you know other mathematical fonts that would be a good fit?

  • How about TeX Gyre DejaVu Math or Noto Serif Math? This might help you: https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/425098/which-opentype-math-fonts-are-available – Apoorv Potnis Jul 11 '22 at 15:42

The 2018 typeface Sitka was designed by Matthew Carter with the "mastering" help of the founders of Tiro Typeworks: Ross Mills and John Hodson (op. cit.).

Earlier, the 2016 Stipub typefaces STIX Two Text and STIX Two Math were designed by Ross Mills and John Hudson. (Other typographers have helped, according to Github's list of contributors to the STIX2 fonts.)

Mills and Hudson had implemented Microsoft's Cambria Math font (using Jelle Bosma's 2004 Cambria Text typeface).

Pairing Sitka Text with STIX Two Math (or Cambria) conforms with the heuristic of selecting font-pairs from the same designer(s), here Ross Mills and John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks.
