Looking to buy a typeface for a client that will become their primary typeface for everything. Sans serif, multiple weights and widths. They like Benton Sans, but I'd imagine it's a no-go at nearly $5,000 for 5 seats. I'm looking at Trade Gothic Next as an alternative, it's relatively cheap @ $1,200.
Any other suggestions? They don't really like Gotham, so that's out.

BTW their logotype is an amalgamation of Interstate and Gotham, if that helps. I don't want to use Interstate though. I hate the lowercase.

They seem to like the sturdiness of American Grotesques, so something rounder/more contemporary like Proxima Nova is out too.

You can never go wrong with Trade either.

Akkurat?

Akkurat would be great if it came in a thin weight and multiple widths.
I'm thinking for now though, I might circle back and recommend that they buy all weights but only one width (the regular one) of Benton.

Vista Sans? Not used that one in a while. Gorgeous too.
