Windsor™ font
Windsor is a serif made for display and headings. It was designed by Elisha Pechey, and first issued by Stephenson Blake in 1905. It isn’t free: 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 Windsor
Is Windsor free?
No. Windsor is a paid typeface, sold by Monotype. The free fonts on this page are free for commercial use too, under open licences.
Who designed Windsor?
Windsor was designed by Elisha Pechey, and first issued by Stephenson Blake in 1905.
Can I use Windsor in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word, only after you install a licensed copy: neither Windows nor Microsoft 365 comes with Windsor. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Windsor isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, Fraunces, Gravitas One and Ultra 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 Windsor?
FontKind hasn’t measured Windsor: 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, Gravitas One, Ultra and Asset are fat-face serifs in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Windsor.
