I have a PSD comp for a website and the titles are in ITC Avant Garde Std. What's a good replacement font? It should be available for the web, either free or on TypeKit.

Questrial is pretty close but only available in Regular:

DIN Schriften Neuzeit Grotesk Light would be a good replacement. You can use IdentiFont to locate similar fonts.

I know this post is a bit old, but I faced this issue today and finally found a GoogleFont alternative : Poppins



Beside some letter width and le letter Q (which is completely different), the font is a pretty good and free alternative.

Check out Publica Sans from Facetype It has even more glyphs and stylistic alternates than ITC Avante Garde Gothic. www.myfonts.com/fonts/facetype/publica-sans/

"Raleway" from google webfonts is very close and easy to use.

Tex Gyre Adventor is a really nice replacement for both Avant Garde and Century Gothic. Useful if you also target devices that are not a pc or Mac. It's available as a @font -face kit at FontSquirrel: www.fontsquirrel.com/fonts/TeX-Gyre-Adventor

Just to add, if the ascenders on Futura PT are too crazy high, or if someone finding this is looking for a free alternative to ITC Avant Garde, Didact Gothic on Google Web Fonts has many features in common.

The capitals are less eyecatching than Avant Garde's, and the letters are more uniform (e.g. no crazy-slim r), but it has a similar clear clean simplicity. It's probably suitable for use in titles or large, short (bullet list?) text.

It's got a decent range of glyphs, but unfortunately only one weight (standard/400), so it's not a good replacement for the elegant light or heavy Avant Garde weights.

Century Gothic is pretty well-saturated on the Web and has letterforms that are in the same ballpark as Avant Garde. If a Mac doesn't have it on their system, you can put Futura lower down the font stack.

Not sure how scientific these surveys are, but the numbers are in line with what I've read before: Century Gothic is on probably about 87% of PCs (63% of Macs too!) and Futura is on about 96% of Macs.
