Is there a free version of Domaine Display?

No. Domaine Display is a paid serif from Klim Type Foundry. Every alternative on this page is free for commercial use, under the SIL Open Font License and ITF Free Font License.

How were these alternatives chosen?

By measuring the letters, not by comparing names or tags. Domaine Display was measured as klim.co.nz draws it: its proportions, the width of every letter and figure, its weight, its stroke contrast and the shapes of telling letters like a, g, R and Q. The same measurements were taken of 1,506 free fonts, and these came closest. Each match was then checked by eye.

Will Prata change my layout?

Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Prata 6.2% smaller with a touch less letter-spacing, so text written for Domaine Display keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.

Point Fontsight at any text on any website. It names the font, and offers a free look-alike you can try on the page, line breaks intact.
