(x) Sans-serif font with half-rounded caps - various suggestions {Patrick, Mike Y}

Cathal Mc Ginley

I'm looking for a typeface for a logo, and I have in mind a sans-serif capital N with half-rounded caps. I'm not sure if I've ever actually seen the type of design I'm looking for, and I don't know the exact terminology to search through font databases. I've mocked up the idea based on Mg Open Modata bold (left). My variant is on the right, but I'd prefer the points to be more like one half of a gothic arch than the current rounded-rectangle. Has anyone seen such a typeface before?

Jos’ diavlo reminds me of that N.

FontShop has a genre list called Soft Sans: Curve-to-Corner. Maybe you'll see something there.

Thanks Patrick, Diavolo Bold is pretty much exactly what I was looking for. FF Cocon from FontShop is also pretty close, and has nicer miniscules than Diavolo. But I think I'll stick with Diavolo for the capital N. Cheers!
