By a collection of a few sentences, do you mean pull quotes, etc? I may get flayed for saying so (I am a noob typesetter in the real world and a noob on this board), but I think Avenir looks good in sentence case (initial uppercase followed by lower) alongside all-caps Gotham headlines, and yeah, I'm not that sold on Gotham in sentence case.

I understand that it's confusing. I couldn't insert an image for whatever reason, but I've included what I'm trying to refer to in the attachments. I'm only planning on using a serif for a couple pages at the end and beginning of the portfolio, that are in paragraph form. The majority of the text in the portfolio be short descriptions such as this.

I can’t help the impression that you may got *a little bit* tired of Gotham ;-)
Try this one. There are other good choices as well, of course.

Not a bad suggestion at all. I like the style and it is something I could use for sure, but not quite what I'm looking at for this project.

I've posted another option (Alright Sans) in the attachments that get's closer to what I'm looking for. I like that It's somewhere between gotham and Whitney or Benton Sans. The Caps are perfect, and I like the lower case a and g, but the x height seems a little too high for my taste. Is there anything else that someone can suggest? Or is this the closest I'm going to get do you think?

Are the various faces' italics/obliques of any help to the mission?

Yes, I suggest you pick a different sans that works in both levels. Your challenge is finding a face with enough punch for headlines that still reads well smaller. For a few sentences, like a lead in or pull quote, you don't need go as far as a text face.

Alright looks good to me, not too high, the x-height.
