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
