Member CN1… Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 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! Christian Link to comment
Ralf Herrmann Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Check out the various versions of Baskerville. ☞ https://www.myfonts.com/search/baskerville and similar fonts. download at MyFonts Link to comment
Member CN1… Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks Ralf. Baskerville could be a good option but we need a cut where the bottom loop of the ‘g’ is connected. Any ideas? Link to comment

Member CN1… Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks Ricardo. Any other Baskerville cuts of the g is even more connected? Link to comment
Member Les… Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Not a Baskerville but how about Le Jeune Text? The lowercase 'a' in particular is reminiscent: https://commercialtype.com/catalog/lejeune/lejeune_text Link to comment
Member CN1… Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks Les. Le Jeune is nice but Baskerville is definitely the look we’re after. Just need the tighter ‘g’ loop! Link to comment
Member Les… Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Well the open bowl of the 'g' is integral to the Baskerville design ☹️ Link to comment
Member CN1… Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 Thanks Les. Is there any other font you could recommend that has the style of Baskerville but without the open bowl of the ‘g’? Link to comment
Member Les… Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Maybe Bell: https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/mti/bell-mt/ or Austin (a more contemporary interpretation) https://commercialtype.com/catalog/austin/austin_text/roman both based on the work of the punchcutter Richard Austin – a contemporary of John Baskerville Link to comment
Member CN1… Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 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. Link to comment
Member Les… Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 Or Miller Text (an interpretation of the so called 'Scotch Roman') designed by one of the finest 20th/21st C designers, Matthew Carter https://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/cartercone/fonts/miller-text/roman 1 Link to comment
Member CN1… Posted December 22, 2021 Author Share Posted December 22, 2021 We’ll take a look! Many thanks! Link to comment
