High Waist R sans-serif with straight leg

Donald H. Tucker

I am looking for sans-serif fonts where the_R_ has a high waist and straight leg similar to Nathaniel Winter-Hébert's Simon Sans as shown in this specimen http://tendollarfonts.com/products/simon-sans
The font ID programs apparently do not check for this feature.

Thanks
Don

Many thanks. All three suggestions are good additions to the category.

Looking at your samples, shouldn’t Futura be on the list?

Some more: Brown, Biko, Euclid Flex (borderline), Alumia (by Maarten Van 't Wout, used to be sold at TDF too but no-longer available anywhere...), Nobel DTL (borderline), Chrysaora, English Grotesque, Johnston ITC, P22 Underground/Johnston Underground, Agenda, Tschichold (leg connection to bowl slightly curved), Aperçu, Germania, Boysen (see Tschichold)

Thanks Riccardo, for the additions.
For the time being I am including fonts that are high-waisted in a less emphatic way than Simon-Sans and Baton, even though those are the prizes.

A tricky factor is that the more the leg sticks out, the more it suggests a high waist _R_, even the bowl is not shifted higher than usual. So careful examination is needed to determine if these fonts are actually high-waisted.

The additional fonts as samples for comparison:
Futura
