Best free alternatives to
Feijoa
Klim Type Foundry released Feijoa in 2007, designed by Kris Sowersby as the Wellington foundry's first retail typeface. It is built on one stated principle, that a straight line is a dead line, so every stroke bends slightly and the sharp points and angles that can look harsh on screen are rounded away into something warmer and more human. Klim classifies it as a Garalde oldstyle. The Medium, Italic and Bold are text weights drawn for book typography and long reading, while a separate Display cut handles headlines at 16pt and up. Its fancy ligatures nod to Zuzana Licko's Mrs Eaves. These free serifs work the same soft oldstyle register without the licence fee.

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.

The shape of a working week
Body type does the heavy lifting. Get it right and the reader never thinks about it; get it wrong and they feel it before they can name what is off.
