Best free alternatives to
Eska
Capitalics Warsaw Type Foundry released Eska on 1 September 2026, a digitization of a display alphabet Maria Eska drew in 1975 as a fifth-year student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, in a course led by Roman Tomaszewski. Originally titled Rugby, it is round, heavy and a little cartoonish, with the bouncy geometry typical of 1970s poster lettering. Mateusz Machalski led the revival for the design's fiftieth anniversary, with Małgorzata Bartosik contributing drawings, and shipped two versions: Eska Original, faithful to the 1975 artwork, and Eska Neue, reworked for modern typesetting. Both are free, and these similar free display fonts can be loaded straight from a CDN.
