Akzidenz.
Akkurat.

Is it a lot of text? Is it a sans or serif you're looking for?
Whats the context?

Im liking Flama recently...

A small instructional book but they're looking for it to be a little 'funky' new wave-ish. A lot of text. To be paired with Dodoni titles.

Also Lexia and Eureka.
I've used a modern monoline called Stainless which is nice and a little bit techy without being cliched.
Also Section, would be a similar font, seems decent for a bit of copy.

Try it with Akzidenz or Stainless, see if they work well, perhaps the lighter weights would be a good contrast?

We use akzidenz for everything, so I'm trying to get away from it. Stainless is nice, thanks ian. :)
