Recoleta font
Recoleta is a retro serif after the display lettering of the 1970s. It was designed by Jorge Cisterna, and first issued by Latinotype in 2018. It isn’t free: it is a paid typeface, sold by Latinotype. 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 Recoleta
Is Recoleta free?
No. Recoleta is a paid typeface, sold by Latinotype. The free fonts on this page are free for commercial use too, under open licences.
Who designed Recoleta?
Recoleta was designed by Jorge Cisterna, and first issued by Latinotype in 2018.
Can I use Recoleta in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, only after you install a licensed copy: neither Windows nor Microsoft 365 comes with Recoleta. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Recoleta isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Fraunces, Crimson Text and Gravitas One 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 Recoleta?
FontKind hasn’t measured Recoleta: 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 Fraunces. Beside them, Crimson Text, Gravitas One and Cormorant Garamond are old-style serifs and fat-face serifs in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Recoleta.
