Bespoke Sans. Measured letter by letter, it’s 83% alike: 8% taller x-height, sets 9% wider, same weight, same stroke contrast. Telex, Cabin, Plein, Author and Excon are also close.
Is there a free version of Seravek?
No. Seravek is a paid sans serif from Process Type Foundry. Every alternative on this page is free for commercial use, under the ITF Free Font License and SIL Open Font License.
How were these alternatives chosen?
By measuring the letters, not by comparing names or tags. Seravek was measured from a licensed copy: 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 Bespoke Sans change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Bespoke Sans 7.3% smaller with a touch less letter-spacing, so text written for Seravek keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
Spot Seravek 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.
