I'm planning on making invitation cards and a simple webpage for my friend's birthday. I've been trying to find a free webfont alternative for Golden Type Bold for a while. I might just be ok with a desktop font at this point though and finding a separate font for the webpage. Do you guys know of a free substitute for Golden Type? Any insight is greatly appreciated!

Here is a reference: www.myfonts.com/fonts/itc/golden-type/bold/

Coelacanth, a free Venetian based on Centaur, comes in many weights and optical sizes; it’s a work in progress, and the developer’s site is benwhitmore.altervista.org.

Here’s a sample for comparison:

documentclass[royal,12pt]{octavo}
usepackage{fontspec}
setmainfont{Coelacanth Bold Brevier}
linespread{1.10345}
begin{document}
huge
CONSECTETUR ADIP

elit, sed do eiusmod temp

bigskip

Large
ELIT, SED DO EIUSMOD TEMPOR

sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut l
end{document}




While we’re on the subject of free Venetians, Ralph Levien is working on Museum (levien.com/type/myfonts/museum.html). It has no bold, but its optical sizes may be useful to you.
