Neutraface?

Or even Chalet if you want something a bit more display like.
If it wasn't for the single story a criteria, as mentioned, I would have also suggest Avenir, specially AvenirNext.

winter - how come you keep responding to font Q's with FontExplorerX.. ? this is the 2nd or 3rd time i've seen it.
and wtf.. the new version is a 5mb download?
- johndiggity0
i cannot use chalet unfortunately, i have to change it from that.

how about Neutraface? too retro?
it comes with excellent alternates that include a single-story round "a".

Download FontExplorer X 1.0fc4
> 5.2 mbthat's the latest version.
and regardless, johndig is looking for a geometric sans font suggestion, not a font management app.. ?
- winter0
that font app has a control panel that lets you control font specs in "search mode" and id's most of common fonts and its variants from any foundry. that's why i posted it in the first place.

ahhhhhhhh... i stand corrected.
thx winter & sorry bout that.

FontExplorer and FontExplorer X are completely different apps. The first is just that, a font explorer, the second is the newly released manager. Poor nomenclature on the part of Linotype.
Here are some geo sans with single-story 'a's:
