Not that we really need yet another humanist sans (although this was a custom job, so maybe it's OK), but Underware's recent Stool has some nice features, like an italic with serifs! And the presentation is great (no surprise).

?? sweet

ignore the question marks above (don't know why they appeared). stool is fabuloso. lower case "g" and upper case italic "K" are super.

great link. I wish it ws for sale. I could really see using that in several different applications..

Hmmm... yummy. These guys really are on the ball.

2800 kerning pairs. oh my.

I like the owner

I like the way the small caps are taller than the x-height.

Aren't they usually?

When they're not a bit taller, they suck.
One of the very few things I dislike about Proforma, BTW.

Not all are. Minion's small caps are exactly the same height as the s-height. It looks rather odd, somewhat too cute.
