Charis SIL is one of those fonts.
My preferred reading font is Adobe Garamond Premier Medium, and it takes about 87% of the width that ChareInk6SP does at the same font size.
EB Garamond and Cormorant Garamond from Google Fonts are both decent free alternatives. EB Garamond is a little bit darker than Adobe's at the same weight, while Cormorant is a little bit lighter. If you are used to reading with something as dense and thickly stroked as ChareInk6SP, both will seem quite light, because of the delicacy of the Garamond style font. Both are about 2-3% wider than Adobe's, so still quite narrow.

I've tried Garamond, but it doesn't suit me. Too thin and the line spacing is too large. I prefer thicker fonts with tighter line spacing. To each their own.
