Looking for a nice, editorial Sans for a fashion project. Any suggestions? Thanks!
This is funny; I'm looking for sans face I'd say falls in the same broad category (see earlier post "Pre-War Sans"), but your request is perhaps broader.
My list for this would probably be:
Underground Pro
Relay
Verlag
Gotham
Encore Sans
Proxima Sans/Nova
Avenir
Futura
Avant Garde
Fedra Sans
Neue Haas Grotesk
I think it's absolutely beautiful. Should pair nicely.
Reminds me of Freight Sans, which I also have an enduring fondness for, and which also pairs beautifully with contrasty serifs (like the other end of the superfamily, no doubt).
...and Encore is something special, but I do find all the Parachute faces to be rather pricey, though most of them have so many international features they're quite justified...still, 800,00€ always makes me wince a bit.
I second the SangBleu recommendation, I've always liked Chalet as well (just haven't found a place to use it yet).
Giorgio Sans is also a great display face, it was designed for T, the New York Times style magazine.
How about my Franklin Gothic? I made it originally for British Vogue, and after I finished it, they decided to go with American Typewriter. Bastards…

where it's doing pretty well. My regards to British Vogue.
