What font do you use instead of Escrow Banner?

Dear Adobe Community,

I've found out that Escrow Banner is not available anymore. I use this font in many projects and I wonder if any of you have already found a replacement to this nice font. I don't have the cash to acquire the font by bureau. Adobe said they would provide, when a font is retired, an alternative font suggestion. However, I haven't received anything like this.

 

Thanks for your help.

If you look at the Search bar on the fonts.adobe.com page, you'll see a camera icon. That lets you upload a picture of text created with the font you're looking for. I took a picture of the Escrow Banner sample text on the Type Network site and uploaded it to Adobe.

This is the sample:

The search suggests Kepler.

I'm not a designer, but it looks fairly similar. There's like 168 fonts in that typeface; I suspect you can find something with the right spacing and weight without too much difficulty.

Escrow Banner is still available. It was just removed from the Adobe Stock subscription - the owner took it away and decided to sell it instead. You can buy many faces from about $40 per face: https://store.typenetwork.com/foundry/fontbureau/series/escrow?family=escrow-banner

Thanks for your answer. I know it's still available as a pay option, but I was wondering if someone had found a font available in adobe fonts to replace it. 

Thanks for your help.
