How were these alternatives chosen?
By measuring the letters, not by comparing names or tags. Wallop 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 Figtree change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Figtree 0.6% smaller with a touch more letter-spacing, so text written for Wallop keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
