Castellar is a titling face of Roman capitals by John Peters, first issued by Monotype in 1957. 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 Castellar
Is Castellar 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 Castellar?
Castellar was designed by John Peters, and first issued by Monotype in 1957.
Can I use Castellar in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, yes, with Microsoft 365: Castellar is one of its cloud fonts, which Word downloads when you pick it. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Castellar isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Monoton, Fascinate Inline and Miltonian 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 Castellar?
FontKind hasn’t measured Castellar: it has no licensed copy of it, so this page doesn’t rank free fonts by how close they come. Monoton, Fascinate Inline and Miltonian are inline display faces in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Castellar.
