  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?

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

• gramme

  Don't use Corisande. It's wonky. Looks like a poor man's Dax, which is itself a pile of wonk.

  • well why don't you suggest something in its stead......– move1/2

    I already did: Gotham, regular or rounded. Also comes in a nice condensed version.– gramme2/2
