Hey,i'm in the middle of developing an identity for a series of Lounge-music compilations, with at french-sounding name, á la Hôtel Costes.
Sounds gay? It is. Or, at least something to be played in the background of a hair salon.
I'm looking for the right typeface for the title/logo (I'm thinking uppercase letters). Vibewise something plain but classy, maybe with an Art Déco twist (but not neccesarily). I always end up using Avant Garde Gothic or Futura for occasions like these. Or, i dig around Myfonts for two hours and end up using the aforementioned.
Any suggestions?

doing a hand drawn version of something like futura would be neat.

Try Avenir it has a lot of style and it resembles Futura in its width and geometric shapes.

Neo Deco?
I kinda hate it, but might be suitable, seems like the kinda of thing you'd see in a hair salon..

While we're at it, anyone have any suggestions for a font that carries a melancholic/sad personality?

You guys!
Thanks a lot for all the suggestions! I havent checked back until now... didn't expect a lot of response to this. Admittedly, a typeface suggestion request isn't the hottest topic.
Thanks again, it's much appreciated!!
