soft, organic font

nidhi

Hello,
I am looking for a very simple font but having a hard time finding something with a tad bit of personality also. I need it to be sans serif (mostly), perfect circle Os, and a soft organic quality to it. I have been using Gotham and Kurosawa sans so I am looking for something along those lines. I might try out a serif too as long as it doesn't feel "heavy" which is the problem I am having while using the more legible bold gotham. I don't think I want it too flowy, just soft, delicate.

(This is my first time posting here so please excuse any breaking of protocol. I searched for this topic but wasn't able to find a particular posting so if it already exists, please do point me to it. Thanks!)

It sounds like you're looking for a humanist typeface, which almost never have perfectly circular 'o's. So depending on how important that criteria is, here are some soft, organic sans serifs:

Cronos
FF Strada
Fresco Sans
Freight Sans

Hypatia from Adobe

Omnes and Bryant are nice

wow! Thanks guys!
I am checking these slowly. I LOVE Omnes.

I know my criteria lean towards some very basic characteristics but still some of these fonts have great character

Storm's Sebastian comes to mind.

FS Albert does have a politely soft feel to it but not marker-ish which I like. The O's are just not perfect circle enough :/ I might try it in the layout anyways.

FF Info always seemed like a cousin to FS Albert, at least at a quick glance.
