I believe it was designed (or at least used) for a dutch or german tv staton or something.

Would Forza work well?

If it looks good 1:1 (pixel ratio) @ 1080p then you should be good. I am no expert here by any means, though.

"Toga Sans™ is the result of an evening spent with the Bitstream Vera Sans™ font and the pfaedit program. Essentially, just as Microsoft's Tahoma™ was designed as a screen-width friendlier version of their Verdana™ (and Bitstream Vera Sans appears to have been strongly influenced by Verdana), Toga is meant to be a narrower version of Vera. In fact, that's what it literally is, because I ended up just using "scale" on all the characters and then adjusting the metrics accordingly. It looks better than the versions where I tried to manually adjust kern pairs and whatnot. Per the Bitstream Vera Sans license agreement, I have renamed the font and removed Bitstream's name despite the minimal amount of work I did, and this modified font is available under the same terms."
Sounds like you were right...

If you are designing a tv app, most of them already have system fonts that you have to use.
For example:
google tv: droid sans
Microsoft Mediaroom: segoe
Philips: philips screen fonts...

sweet lord.
now i'm in a discussion over using toga, univers, futura, or museo.
toga is by far the worst but i can't come to justify using any of the other three either. of them maybe museo is the nicest.
