You're mistaken here, Lucida Bright is not Lucida Grande, it is a
serif font. But given you seem to like the weight of Computer Modern,
you will probably find Lucida too heavy for your taste.
Beware too: it's not the Lucida Bright shipped with MS Office and
(possibly) Mac OS X which you would want to use, but the version
accompanied by Lucida NewMath for maths which is available from
either TUG
http://www.tug.org/store/lucida/
or PCTeX
http://www.pctex.com/Lucida_Fonts.html
See here for an example of a paper typeset entirely with Lucida
Bright/NewMath
