Similar fonts help

Ju22

Hi !

I'm looking for similar fonts to Walsheim and Planeta Plakat.

Something like this http://commandogroup.no/info/ but with the « a » like Walsheim.

How would you call these types of fonts ? What are good other fonts of that type ?

Thank you.

Commando Group website uses P22 Underground. By switching to the Pro version, you could get the single storey /a available as stylistic alternate through OpenType features.
More in the same vein: Brown, Fugue, Relative, Value Sans

Thank you !

Nice suggestions. Very simple, friendly and strong at the same time. Fugue is closest to what I'm looking for...

Any other suggestions ? I'm so obsessed with those.

Drescher Grotesk, Century Gothic, Neuzeit Grotesk, Novocento, Sofia, Keep Calm (no single storey /a), Nils, Mogul, Toronto Subway, Euclid, Maax, Leberkaas, Zona Black

what kind of serifs would be nice with such geometric sans serifs ?

I saw combinations with slab serifs, I think it looks too similar and misses some « finesse ».
