Chapaza font alternatives

[CN1]

Hi All

Can anyone recommend an alternative font to Chapazza? It doesn't have a version for use online so were trying to source an alternative that has similar characteristics.

Thanks!

Thanks Ralf. Baskerville could be a good option but we need a cut where the bottom  loop of the ‘g’ is connected.  Any ideas?

Thanks Ricardo. Any other Baskerville cuts of the g is even more connected?

Not a Baskerville but how about Le Jeune Text? The lowercase 'a' in particular is reminiscent:

Thanks Les. Le Jeune is nice but Baskerville is definitely the look we’re after. Just need the tighter ‘g’ loop!

Well the open bowl of the 'g' is integral to the Baskerville design ☹️

[CN1]

Thanks Les. Is there any other font you could recommend that has the style of Baskerville but without the open bowl of the ‘g’?

Maybe Bell:

or Austin (a more contemporary interpretation)

both based on the work of the punchcutter Richard Austin – a contemporary of John Baskerville

Many thanks Les. If any other options come to mind please do let us know. Meanwhile we’ll take a look at Bell and Austin.

Or Miller Text (an interpretation of the so called 'Scotch Roman') designed by one of the finest 20th/21st C designers, Matthew Carter

We’ll take a look! Many thanks!
