Really love Galaxie Polaris ( http://www.vllg.com/Village/Gala… )... I seem to use it way too much though... wondering if there are any typefaces that are similar yet different?
Any suggestions?

If you have the typeface already then use it, who cares who else uses it.

Akkurat is nice but not sure I'm in love with the lowercase "l"
Gotham is too old news... seems like the new Helvetica Neue. Thanks for thinking, though.
Utopian... not concerned about using it because others use it. Just looking for alternates...

I mean different but alike... kinda the same only more unique. Make sense?

well an old old font which is still very nice and has a huge family of weights is Univers.

Although I suppose your after something more modern. Try Scala Sans

I've been using Galaxie Polaris for a recent project instead of Helvetica, of which I am sick of for the moment. I even wrote Chester at Vllg to say thanks for such a nice font and he was kind enough to send me a beta copy of Galaxie Altair, which is his soon to be released condensed weights of Galaxie Polaris...makes the type family that much better...

Also, check out TV Nord..kinda an update of Trade Gothic:

KofiPure from Font Farm is a nice modern face as well:

And if you can handle a typeface that has some negative criticism form some quarters, Aaux Pro ain't half bad i nit's lighter weights...
