![]() ![]() So now that the fonts are there, so go to Google Docs and then you can choose the color and the plus sign and pick the correct color from the other website. Getting the colors right with the color slurper I came up with Logo font Pinnacle PY to Alic,e Playfair Display, Niconne, Jim Nightsahde, Aref Ruqaa Ink and Gwendolyn. The closest to me looked like Alice so not exact but there you have it.So this was the hard part, look at all 1600 fonts and their ampersands, then try to find something similar with a nice flourish.So then I tried FF Madona free alternatives and this didn’t work.I couldn’t find much on Pinnacle JY Alternates,but Pinnacle JY Pro I tried and then looked at similar fonts at WhatFontis, but this wasn’t much use.Even using What Font Is doesn’t give very much. Jack Yan of New Zealand has this huge set of fonts by the way. FF Madona is closer but without the flourish. Fulgora Biaco sort of leans the wrong way. It is hard to find an exact match, but Pinnacle JY Alternates Book is pretty close.There are some great toolslike Font Squirrel but I had great luck with My Fonts, you just feed it an image URL, tell it where to look and you get matches.In this case, you might find a logo which is an image so you can’t find the font type: ![]() OK, the next thing is sometime you want logo type, for instance and nice ampersand can look really good if distinct. So then comes the exercise of getting out Google Docs and Slides and seeing what works, I looked at them all and Raleway actually does look nice although it is san serif font, the other one I like is Josefin Slab Medium adds a nice old look to your text while for a more modern look it is Raleway, Arvo and Arial look ok.Lastly, I looked at Page Cloud which suggested PT Sans or Roboto Condensed for headlines with Cabin, the opposite of what I was looking for. Finally Many Pixels suggest Lobster which is a fun logo font combination. Then there is VEV Design that suggest Montserrat. Also I saw a Figma post that suggest Ubuntu and Raleway. And I got another Typewolf that suggest Sabon and Typ.io suggests Raleway, Graphik, Arial, Arvo, Dancing Script and Josefin Slab. This is another google-fu exercise, google fonts that work with Cabin is a good start.So off to find a nice serif font that goes with Cabin: One of the things I learn along time ago was that typically you use Sans Serif for headlines and then serif fonts for the body text. Now find fonts to go with it: Serif Josefin Slab Medium And it’s nice the Rike Mahnke thinks the same thing. There is no easy way to find a similar font, so I use Google-fu for this. But if you do a Google search looking for Google fonts like Brandon Grotesque you get to Similarfont.io and you learn Brandon Groteque was created by Hannes von Dohren in 2009 inspired by the 1920s geometric sans-serif fonts and it tells you the most similar fonts are Cabin and Josefin Sans. In this case, Typewolf is your friend if you are looking for alternatives. ![]() ![]() So in our case we are looking for an analog. You want to use Google Fonts because with things like Google Workspace, you can only use Google Fonts.
