Best free alternatives to
Actonia
Måns Grebäck released Actonia in 2016, a brush script family published in two versions, Regular and Hand. Its letters join in a smooth, flowing line, and contextual alternates and ligatures keep repeated letters from looking stamped out, so a word reads as if it were lettered by hand. Grebäck pitched it at logotypes, slogans and business titles, which is where it sits: more relaxed than a formal copperplate, more polished than everyday handwriting. It is free for personal use only; commercial work needs a paid license. These free typefaces work the same casual, connected brush register without the license fee.

Display + body that work together
A grammar of empty space
Crisp, even strokes give the display its punch. Quiet serifs underneath stay readable across thousands of words — used together by editors at the kind of paper that still prints corrections.

Letters that hold their nerve
The display sets the register; the body follows through. When both halves of a pair pull in the same direction, the design disappears and the words come forward.
