Best free alternatives to
Open Sauce One
Alfredo Marco Pradil designed Open Sauce One as part of Open Sauce, a contemporary grotesque superfamily released under the SIL Open Font License. It is the most restrained of the three. Open Sauce Sans adds ink traps for interface and display sizes, and Open Sauce Two rounds everything off. Open Sauce One drops the ink traps and keeps the forms plain and neutral, which makes it a good fit for editorial text. It comes in seven weights from Light to Black, each with a matching italic, and it shows up in searches next to Aeonik as a free stand-in. These similar free grotesques can also be loaded straight from a CDN.
