While I don’t know too much on fonts, I would highly, highly recommend looking into the reference manager Zotero and its LibreOffice and browser extensions for reference management. It’s helped me significantly organizing research for papers and cutting down the time I spend doing menial tasks like reference checking, I can just click a button to add a source to my library and then another with the LibreOffice extension to plop it in as a reference. It has options for every major referencing style and you can create your own as well, though I haven’t cared enough to try lol
