So I'm a designer by profession and thought that to help people out, I'd dig around the internet to try and find close (free) substitutions for official fonts, since many of them are either way expensive or likely custom-made and not for sale.

If anybody has a specific request for a font style, let me know, otherwise I'm just gonna go on my own schedule. Also, feel free to share your own finds! I'll update the OP with any new selections.

First off: the popular title font.


Official Font- Eason Pro Inline Caps:

Free Alternatives:
Elizabeth:

This is the closest i've seen, and has several variants which makes it very versatile as well. :D

Caesar:

Another really close match. Less variations, sans-serif.

Versal:

Another close match, although a little fancier.

Stowe:

Although a bit less accurate, it has the same mood.

Deviations: these are similar in style (inline) but are farther from the original font. Could be used in some more specific situations.

FoglihtenNo01:

This one is way more stylized but I think it could definitely be used in many cases.

Uber stylized (slab-serif-ish)

White Line Fever

Another similar font with a few variations.

Next on the agenda: Cronos Pro subs.

These are beautiful. My fav is the second one. The font I used for my avatar is also free, it's called Ruritania. I've uploaded a larger pic if you wanna check it out. Took me forever a nice one.
