I'm looking for a heavy san-serif, contemporary yet timeless. Preferably with spherical uppercase O's.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Avenir Next Pro Heavy.
The "Next" version has improved contrast and apertures in the heavier weights, I think. Plus it also has small caps, text figures, and small cap figures.

Does anyone else here who's used Avenir Next think the Condensed versions look shitty? It almost looks like they were just squashed horizontally and declared done. I love the regular width though. Text figures were a great touch, I think more sans faces should have them. I hate having to use lining figures in running text.

Benton Sans has an expertly drawn Black weight, but the typeface is stupid expensive if you need more than a couple weights.

^ But clearly it's not geometric and wouldn't work for your needs.
