To be paired with Microgramma/Eurostile?
I am supposed to design a leaflet for a friend who is physical therapist. Her corporate design shows a quite modern impression using Microgramma typeface. Now I am wondering which typefaces would match well with Microgramma (with M. for headlines and X for continuous text, or vice versa - which seems to be less likely to me, but I am only an amateur...)?
Any hints?

Egyptienne (F) is indeed a good match.

Essentially, any text face that has an affinity for
the square or super-ellipse should be a pretty
good match.

I think we'll pick Egyptienne or Zapf Book. Thanks to both of you, especially for David's explanation about the means to find a pairing typeface! That will help to improve my marginal knowledge of typography.
