What is the nearest Adobe font to Cinzel Decorative?

I'd like a font for a fantasy book cover and would use Cinzel Decorative if I wasn't nervous about OFL licenses. The long tails to the letters perfectly signal the genre I'm dealing with.

 

I can't find anything like it in Adobe Fonts. Are there really no fonts with capitals with these decorative tails?

    Following @Tarun Saini answer, here is what Adobe Fonts visual search tells me.

    Trajan seems a very good contender

      Many thanks - that search facility is very useful to know about. I think that what it establishes in this case is that, while Trajan is a good equivalent to Cinzel, Adobe has nothing like Cinzel Decorative, which would be a good gap for Adobe to fill!

      See those screenshots to upload installed fonts on your CC:

      First, click on "manage Fonts on your CC app:

       

      then choose uploaded fonts:

       

       

       


      Thanks, Imaginerie - I'm a bit uncomfortable with Google fonts because they say: "These fonts are licensed under the Open Font License. You can use them in your products & projects – print or digital, commercial or otherwise. This isn't legal advice, please consider consulting a lawyer and see the full license for all details."

       

      I can't afford to consult a lawyer but I've read the OFL license and it's aimed at font designers, not end users, and didn't give me confidence that I could use it (YMMV).

       

      Good idea about getting the Cinzel foundry to ask to be uploaded to Google fonts, though...

        Hi @jm46235390,

         

        Thanks for reaching out. Here is something you can try, as Adobe Fonts helps you find fonts matching the text used in images. You can select a font displayed in the search results to activate it immediately.

         

        Please check this article and see if that helps: https://helpx.adobe.com/fonts/using/visual-search-adobe-fonts.html

         

        Let us know how it goes.

         

        Regards,

        Tarun
