What is the best free alternative to Europa?
Jost. Measured letter by letter, it’s 80% alike: same x-height, sets 4% narrower, same weight, same stroke contrast. Andika, Afacad, SUSE, Outfit and Average Sans are also close.
Is there a free version of Europa?
No. Europa is a paid sans serif from EuropaType. Every alternative on this page is free for commercial use, under the SIL Open Font License.
How were these alternatives chosen?
By measuring the letters, not by comparing names or tags. Europa was measured as fonts.adobe.com 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 Jost change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Jost 0.4% larger with a touch more letter-spacing, so text written for Europa keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
Spot Europa in the wild?
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.
