Figtree. Measured letter by letter, it’s 86% alike: same x-height, sets 3% narrower, a touch lighter, same stroke contrast. SN Pro, Inclusive Sans, Adwaita Sans, Zalando Sans and Miranda Sans are also close.
Is there a free version of Museo Sans?
No. Museo Sans is a paid sans serif from exljbris Font Foundry. 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. Museo Sans 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 Figtree change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Figtree 1.2% larger with a touch more letter-spacing, so text written for Museo Sans keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
Spot Museo Sans 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.
