Best free alternatives to
ABC Favorit
ABC Favorit was designed by Johannes Breyer and Fabian Harb and released by their Berlin foundry Dinamo in 2016. It's a low-contrast grotesque that pairs geometric rigidity with subtle oddities — small quirks in the letterforms that give an otherwise neutral sans a faint sense of humour. The family runs to more than a hundred styles, including condensed, extended and monospaced cuts plus a Lining variant with connecting underlines. The free grotesques below trade the licence fee for a similar low-contrast, lightly idiosyncratic register.
