Latinized Greek

A Brazilian pianist has an extensive series of videos on YouTube, which contain nice music.

In his latest video, he is accompanied by a flautist, who has included a message of love in the video (where the ad banner may cover it).

It's in Greek, but the typeface is thoroughly Latinized. It took me a while to find a typeface that presented Greek in this manner, but I eventually found at least one: Monotype's Century Regular. I knew it was possible to do this, but I was not sure that anyone had gone ahead and done so.

Finally, on Luc Devroye's site, I found more examples: Linotype New Century Schoolbook Greek and Linotype New Baskerville Greek, and three Greek typefaces by Magenta, their versions of Garamond, Bodoni, and Souvenir. (Ah, these examples came from a paper by Yannis Haralambous; I had read it and seen them before, but I had forgotten all about them.)
