Change time signature font

What is the best way to change the font and size of a time signature? For the contemporary scores that I am setting, the traditional engraved old-fashioned face for time signatures just looks out of place, and, like some other engravers, I am attempting to match a very idiosyncratic handwritten style in the manuscript.

I have:

  \override Staff.TimeSignature #'stencil = #ly:text-interface::print
\override Staff.TimeSignature #'text = \markup { \abs-fontsize #14.5 \bold \override #'(baseline-skip . 2.5) \center-column { \line { 16 } \line { 4 } } }

This works, but seems terribly clumsy. Is there a more elegant way?

Andrew
