"Organic" humanist sans serif typeface

Dan Beltechi4 August 2010 · 18:10

Hi again,

I'm on a (rather quick) quest for a quirky/organic humanist sans serif in a heavy weight. The word I'm setting is "Coffey," so bonus points for a nice ff ligature.

On my list:
Corbel
Candara
Mayberry
Bree
Hypatia Sans (if I can figure out where to buy it)
Lapidaria Sans
Whitney
Beorcana
FF Advert
FF Scala

Of all these, Candara is closest to what I'm looking for, but doesn't have a heavy enough weight. Beorcana would be the other, but it might be too "quirky" for this particular job.

Help! :)

Not sure if these will fit the bill, but here you go:

On the left Agilita, on the right Finnegan.

Perhaps you'd like to consider our Giacomo 2.0:

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'm adding Urbana, Agilita and Giacomo to the list.

Here's what I particularly like in Candara, and what I'm looking for (but in a heavier weight).

Productus?

Both FF Legato (Bold, it’s quite dark) or FF Balance (Black) by Evert Bloemsma should fit the bill, although as far as I can tell neither has an ff ligature.

Didn't know about Productus. Legato also fits the bill nicely. Thanks, Florian and Antonio.

Still undecided, but getting closer. My favorites so far: Legato, Productus, Candara, Beorcana.
