Questions, answered.

What is the best free alternative to Feijoa?

Castoro. Measured letter by letter, it’s 82% alike: 7% shorter x-height, sets 7% narrower, same weight, more stroke contrast. Libertinus Serif, Andada Pro, Trykker, Libre Baskerville and Vollkorn are also close.

Is there a free version of Feijoa?

No. Feijoa is a paid serif from Klim Type 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. Feijoa was measured as klim.co.nz, 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 Castoro change my layout?

Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Castoro 7.1% larger with a touch more letter-spacing, so text written for Feijoa keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.

Spot Feijoa 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.
