It's not what it's designed for, but Eledmac has some interesting tabular features — https://ctan.math.washington.edu/tex-archive/macros/latex/co...

There's a good list here — https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/12672/which-tabular-...

Also, with some care, the tabular environment can be made to work very well. Example —

% In the preamble:

\def\qfont{\usefont{T1}{AlegreyaSans-LF}{m}{}} % only here as used in example document

% In the body:

{\footnotesize

\begin{center}

\begin{tabular}[pos]{| >{\qfont}c | >{\qfont}c | >{\qfont}c || >{\qfont}c |}

\hline

{\textbf{YEAR}} & {\textbf{PLATE OFFERINGS}} & {\textbf{ENVELOPES}} & {\textbf{TOTAL}} \\ \hline

1915 & 1,904.86 & 4,587.50 & 6,492.36 \\ \hline

1916 & 2,165.21 & 5,091.24 & 7,256.45 \\ \hline
