Looking for sans recommendations. I like the friendliness of Neutra. Love the Los Angeles magazine font (name?). Or the one Vanity Fair uses in rubrics and elsewhere (again, name?). My favorite pick so far with a similar vibe is Verlag. Which fonts am I overlooking?
Nobel
Geometric 415
Metro?
Avenir?
Geometric 415 is Metro by another name. I think a lot of these fonts are inspired by it.

It lacks the double story 'a' of Verlag, tho.
Here's Nobel - it was my longstanding crush but I think it's been replaced by Verlag.
Also, check this article on typographica for alternatives:

More in my post on Verlag.
heh, i beat you to it, stewf!
There is nothing like Neutraface. :^P I wouldn't call it friendly, but I would call it austere.
Vanity Fair is using something by our own lovable James Montalbano.
Verlag is incredibly different from Neutraface.
What's the project? Who's the market?
It's a pleasure to be beat in that manner.
Los Angeles magazine uses Neutraface.
Hi Mindy. There was this post recently about Neutra; http://typophile.com/node/21343
Paul's already mentioned Proxima Sans, but in context of 'a lookalike to Neutra' I would recommend Mostra by the very same, very talented Mark Simonsen.
There is also the lovely Gotham by Mssrs Hoefler and Frere Jones.
