Actually Franklin Gothic is so unique that Georgia isn't too far off in
terms of similarity of possibly available web fonts. It's quite small as
sans fonts go, and its normal weight is bold in most sizes.

I spent hours on this on Linux, doze and OS/2, and only came up with

font: 600 medium 'franklin gothic medium', 'news gothic mt', georgia, sans-serif
The similarity between Franklin and News varies considerably by stroke
and size and OS. Here are my worksheets:
