I'd like to use Johnston Sans font. Apparently, its licensing is strictly controlled.
On the LaTeX Font Catalogue I didn't find any free substitute.
Is it possible to have it working in {pdf,Xe,Lua}LaTeX in any way?

The easiest and most powerful way to use the fonts which interest you is with fontspec
in luatex
(or xetex
, though you miss out on the possibilities of \directlua{...}
in that case).
Here is an example of using P22 Underground Pro:
\documentclass[14pt]{beamer}
\usepackage{fontspec}
\setsansfont{P22 Underground Pro Book}[
Numbers=OldStyle]
\newfontface\engraved{P22 Underground Engraved}
\linespread{1.104}
\begin{document}
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{\engraved P22 Underground Pro}
P22 Underground Pro supports Latin (with all characters needed for
transliteration of Semitic languages), Greek (including polytonic
Greek), and Cyrillic. There are arrows, circled numbers, and useful
dingbats.

\addfontfeatures{StylisticSet={3,7}}
I’m fond of the humanistic alternates (Q W g) and the diamond
points (:).
\end{frame}
\end{document}
The free versions of this typeface which I noted in the comments don't have stylistic sets, contextual alternates, or other special features, so a simple \setsansfont{Underground NF}
or \setsansfont{Railway}
should do the trick.
