You're absolutely right about Apex's heavy weights. I think the face has a beautiful structure, but more care should be taken in the extrapolation for the dark stuff.
FF Meta is better seen at FontShop:

Meta is almost equally as ugly :P

FF Unit is Erik Spiekermann's follow-up to Meta and shares Apex's stricter forms:

typographica, let's typeface it. you're addicted to this TYPFC stuff. better lay off man. i don't know if a Meta program is advisable for you but you should talk to Ray Larabie. He's on it without getting really high.
j/k. great job you're doin'.

(May 31 05, 06:16)because i think the counters are to small on the bold weights and also it looks to blurry when in low res.

so no one agrees with my hunch?
the connection between Aphex and Isonorm? i really think they're related.

fedra sans alt?

Apex and Isonorm? How so? Isonorm is mostly built of rounded 90° and 45° angles.

foundry sans?
documenta sans?
