Best free alternatives to
Mark Pro
FontFont released FF Mark in 2013, designed by Hannes von Döhren and Christoph Koeberlin with the FontFont Type Department and Erik Spiekermann directing. It is a modern reading of the German geometric sans tradition, citing Herbert Bayer's Universal, Erbar, Kabel, Neuzeit Grotesk and Futura, but built with a larger x-height, wide capitals and open apertures so it reads at text sizes where Futura struggles. The Pro family runs through eight weights of roman and italic in normal, narrow and condensed proportions, with Latin, Cyrillic and Greek coverage. These free typefaces work the same geometric register without the license fee.
