If a client asked you to use a typeface that is "fresh and strikes a balance between contemporary and earthy/folksy" - while maintaining a corporate feel...
what might you suggest?

A light weight Gotham, or even Avant Garde

gotham is actually not a bad suggestion. The lowercase 'a' is rather friendly.

I wouldnt suggest helvetica, its kinda dated if you are thinking fresh. Unless you went the helvetica rounded route. what about something like Corisande? http://www.t26.com/
