: Free/libre equivalent fonts for a cover I'm working on a book cover for a translated book. I want to keep the style of the original book, but I'd also like to use free/libre fonts if possible.
I'm working on a book cover for a translated book. I want to keep the style of the original book, but I'd also like to use free/libre fonts if possible.
Using the original fonts, this is what it looks like:
The two fonts in white are Latino Elongated and Goldwater.
Can you think of a pair of free/libre (ideally PD, GNU GPL or OFL) serif fonts that could replace these two fonts?
Note 1: The top one is also used for chapter headings in the book and should ideally have standard ligatures and small caps.
Note 2: The book uses Linux Libertine as the main inside font, and EB Garamond Italic as the section heading font, is that makes a difference.
Edit:
Since it's hard to find free/libre serif narrow fonts, I decided to try with sans-serif fonts, so now I have this (using Steelfish and Tulpen One):
Is this a good replacement (I'm really quite bad at graphics). What else would you suggest?

You should have tried an easy web search before asking such a question!
There aren't a lot of OpenSource fonts, so if you don't really need it (not a full OpenSource project), you should use free fonts, there are millions on the web. But if it's really important to you, check the Open Font Library.
It's total for both typefaces, if you love 'em, buy 'em!
That said, for Charismatique, you could try Bodoni XT, which you can condense and kern manually:
As for Charismaniaque, there aren't many compatible free offerings. Edition Serif by Diehl and SF Covington (non-commercial) could work here, but if you're going that route, might as well buy Goldwater.
