Looking for complimentary/similar font

peter_monrad

Hi,

I’m working on a magazine for an organisation that has it’s own font. It’s a very limited font in that it only has two weights and only uses uppercase (except the ’y’ which appears to be unicase. It’s a bit in the style of Conduit/Din (caps), but with some personal flavors.

The magazine is about professional sports. For the magazine redesign I would like to introduce a similar or a complimentary sans serif or slab serif font but with more variation in weights and of course lower case. It could be used for captions, pull quotes etc. It’s not for the body since they employ Melior for that. l experimented a bit with Gridnik and Blender, but I think they are too square.

Any ideas?

ITC Officina might work. There are both serif and sans serif versions in several weights.
