Looking for alternatives to Archer

Archer is a lovely typeface, but here in Sweden it have gone too popular, especially in magazine design. Pretty much every other lifestyle-cover in the stands have Archer on it. So here I am, with my first post on Typophile, asking you for great alternatives to Archer.

I'm looking for slab-serifs with a classy och and soft feeling. Great span of weights, from hairline to black, is qualifying.

I like Jubilat, but it haven't any hairline. Charlie is also quite nice.

Any suggestions?

Neutraface Slab? Less playful, four text weights, many display options.

Check out Bodoni Egyptian.

What about the lovely Ernestine? http://ninastoessinger.com/?l=d&s=type will be available soon at Fontshop.

Thanks for recommending it, Roland!
