Broadway™ font
Broadway is an Art Deco display face by Morris Fuller Benton and Sol Hess, first issued by American Type Founders in 1928. Microsoft 365 includes it as a cloud font; elsewhere it is a paid typeface, sold by Monotype. FontKind hasn’t measured it, so the free fonts below stand beside it by their own description and by class, not by measurement.

Questions about Broadway
Is Broadway free?
Not to use anywhere you like. Microsoft 365 includes it as a cloud font, for Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Anywhere else it needs a licence, sold by Monotype. The free fonts on this page are free for commercial use too, under open licences.
Who designed Broadway?
Broadway was designed by Morris Fuller Benton and Sol Hess, and first issued by American Type Founders in 1928.
Can I use Broadway in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, yes, with Microsoft 365: Broadway is one of its cloud fonts, which Word downloads when you pick it. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Broadway isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Fascinate, Fascinate Inline and Limelight are there, under More fonts. Canva publishes no list of its fonts: search its font menu, or, with Canva Pro, upload a font whose licence allows it.
What is the closest free alternative to Broadway?
FontKind hasn’t measured Broadway: it has no licensed copy of it, so this page doesn’t rank free fonts by how close they come. The free fonts whose own descriptions name it, or its model, are Fascinate. Beside them, Fascinate Inline, Limelight and Monoton are Art Deco display faces in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Broadway.
