: Can anyone suggest an alternative to Copperplate Gothic for web use? Designer sent comps for a site using copperplate, I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good alternative that exists either

I tried Libre Baskerville and increased the font spacing to 1px and I feel it is fairly close.

The alternatives presented in other answers don't resemble Copperplate very closely, mainly in geometry. A hybrid approach would be to include Copperplate at the top of your font stack and use fallbacks. According to cssfontstack.com, Copperplate is installed on the majority of Windows and Macintosh computers. www.cssfontstack.com/Copperplate

I came here looking for ideas and this is the approach I'm going to take with a similar problem.

Here is an alternative. Not perfect, but close to Copperplate.

To answer my own question, the font we decided to use is

Alegreya SC

We use it as a backup if the user doesn't have any of the main copperplate families on their machine.

thanks for your help.

If you're concerned about using the actual font, I would just create an @font -face kit yourself using Copperplate Gothic.

The only problem with @font -face, which is a major one, is that it can have a severe impact on site performance.

Here is the best I could find on google webfonts: Syncopate, Cantarell;
I suggest using both in bold. They are close except for the serifs of course, which I don´t find very attractive to be honest.
