Why these fonts work as Adobe Garamond alternatives
Each stand-in was matched against Adobe Garamond using the same four measurements the font finder uses: relative x-height, stem weight, stroke contrast and average letter width. A close score means a close silhouette at reading size, so switching a design from Adobe Garamond to EB Garamond barely changes the overall look.
Are the alternatives really free?
Yes. Every font on this page is a Google Font released under the SIL Open Font License, which allows use in websites, apps, print, marketing and products with no payment and no attribution required. For brand work where the exact face matters, buy the Adobe Garamond licence; everywhere else, the free twin is practically indistinguishable.
