Agency FB compliments...?

Renaud

I'm putting together some collateral. I want to use Agency in titling, but I want to contrast it with a serif font. For some reason, I can't find anything I'm happy with... I looked at all the garamonds, Flareserif (sort of like elan), even other FB faces like Bodega. It's just lacking the sophistication I require...I want it to look very modern (of course i'm using a 30's font like Agency, right?) Very legible and streamlined. I also want to stray away for the obvious picks. And NO copperplate... Any suggestions?

Call FontBureau. They will be able to tell what it has been used with successfully, and maybe give you other ideas.

Well, I wanted to stray away from obvious (read: already established) ideas. I want a fresh approach, and a fresh eye. Sure, i'll call them, but I also would like to hear about some interesting combos the forum could dream up...

I would guess anything that doesn't have too much contrast. You might consider FF Clifford or Tyfa from Storm.
