    What I mailed the man:

    Mário Feliciano's Grotzec is underappreciated. Only one width, though, and maybe not different enough from Champion.

    A greater departure would be his Morgan Poster and Tower. All caps with variants in the lowercase slots.

    Which leads me to one of my favorite poster faces, based on the lesser known Futura, Steile Futura, Tasse:

    More interpretations of Steile Futura on this post:

    Another crisper variation, but not necessarily more modern is Font Bureau's Titling Gothic. The advantage there is you get every width and width you could possibly need.

    Their older take is Bureau Grotesque, recently updated as Bureau Grot.

    Finally, I'm really impressed with Suitcase Type's offerings if you want even more of a "twist". Atrament, Fishmonger, and Sandwich are all very original.

    Let me know if any of these strike your fancy. There are definitely more I can offer if we start narrowing down.
