I am looking for a substitute for a lighter weight of Calibri. Any large(r) font families similar to Calibri out there?
This is for the on-screen use. Calibri is used as a body font and there's a couple of lines of text in the page header (set in a larger size) that I need to tie with the body text.
I don't think there's a light weight. Lucas de Groot designed Calibri for Microsoft:
I believe Lucas designed a Light weight, along with some other variants, as part of the development of Calibri, but these have never been released.
Jean Paul and Sebastian, thank you. Strangely enough Calibri looks rather wide in smaller sizes (~12px), so I'm now leaning towards Gotham and alikes.
You're welcome! Some I had from here, maybe that helps?
I think Foco is most suitable.
Still looking for Calibri Light? Try the Windows 8 "Release Preview"

In my Windows 8 Consumer Preview there doesn't seem to be a Calibri Light.
"Consumer Preview" and "Release Preview" are not the same thing.

Aller Sans from Dalton Maag is nice substitute for Calibri, albeit with a little bit more character / little less neutrality.
