One of my favorite fonts is Tekton. I use it to name the various tune titles in my medleys. It is very clear and it certainly catches the eye. (I am on a Mac platform....is Tekton available for PCs)?
Tekton is offered by both Adobe and Linotype. I'm not sure if it's two different fonts of the same typeface or the same font licensed by one to the other. Both offer it in various formats for both platforms.
The original Tekton design was based on the hand lettering of architect Frank Ching, as used in one of his books. Bolds and italics were derived from it later.
There's also a shareware font called "Frank the Architect" based on the same hand-lettering. It has a similar look but is definitely not identical. I think the designer of the latter was aiming to more closely follow the actual handwriting, whereas with Tekton it was modified for the sake of more general aesthetics and practicality.
