Hi, thank you for the interesting analysis!

The OFL licensed EB Garamond is probably the most narrow one (note that
although this is an incredible font giving whopping 3218 glyphs it is not
professional grade — which means I’d not use it to professionally typeset a
large book or something).
In what regard do you consider EBG “not professional grade”?
I never used it “in production”, so I got no experience.
It’s only that some good open source fonts are technically better than
many Linotype/Monotype fonts that are only half-heartedly converted from
Type 1 – lacking sensible OpenType features or proper Kerning…
(For typesetting books, I’m a fan of Alegreya Serif, one of the “modern”
“soft” Antiquas. The early versions had kerning problems, but these are
long gone.
For lyrics, I usually stay with LilyPond’s default text font that is
based on Century Schoolbook – not the most beautiful font face, but very
readible also under bad light conditions.)
