Burbank font
Burbank is a bouncy version of a classic American gothic. It was designed by Tal Leming, and first issued by House Industries in 2007. It isn’t free: it is a paid typeface, sold by House Industries. FontKind hasn’t measured it, so the free fonts below stand beside it by their own description and by class, not by measurement.

Can I use Burbank in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, only after you install a licensed copy: neither Windows nor Microsoft 365 comes with Burbank. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Burbank isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Oswald, Public Sans and Karla 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 Burbank?
FontKind hasn’t measured Burbank: it has no licensed copy of it, so this page doesn’t rank free fonts by how close they come. Oswald, Public Sans and Karla are grotesque sans serifs in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Burbank.
