Is there a free version of Cassette?
No. Cassette is a paid sans serif from Displaay. 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. Cassette was measured as displaay.net, October 23rd 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 Google Sans change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Google Sans 1.8% larger with a touch less letter-spacing, so text written for Cassette keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
Spot Cassette 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.
