hi, i'm looking for a typeface with a similar look & feel to Bienvenue, custom face for France Télécom:

I've got nothing, other than that typeface looks unstable....

yeah, it's got some quirks.

Porchez's other font Costa is similar:

Lisboa is nice, but not available seperately. Not looking for a full family.

Another Frenchman, Thierry Puyfoulhoux, has a style similar to Porchez and his stuff is available as separate styles.

the 'v' and 'w' elements are the defining characters (also the 'k' and 'i' you could say)...are you looking for similar quirks on those characters, or just a similar general feel?

thanks for the tip Typo. Some possibilities there, I'm having a look now.
hey blastofv, yeah, i'm looking for something with a general similar feel, the "v" and the "w" is not that important; i'm mostly looking for a similar 'roundnes' in the caps, big x-height, extended curves in the 'i', 'l', etc.
it's for a corporate client, but i want to use something with a bit more character and a distinct look; need regular, bold, smallcaps weight.

Bliss has a similar feel to it:
