Hi again,
I'm on a (rather quick) quest for a quirky/organic humanist sans serif in a heavy weight. The word I'm setting is "Coffey," so bonus points for a nice ff ligature.
On my list:
Corbel
Candara
Mayberry
Bree
Hypatia Sans (if I can figure out where to buy it)
Lapidaria Sans
Whitney
Beorcana
FF Advert
FF Scala
Of all these, Candara is closest to what I'm looking for, but doesn't have a heavy enough weight. Beorcana would be the other, but it might be too "quirky" for this particular job.
Help! :)

On the left Agilita, on the right Finnegan.

Perhaps you'd like to consider our Giacomo 2.0:

Thanks for the suggestions, everyone. I'm adding Urbana, Agilita and Giacomo to the list.
Here's what I particularly like in Candara, and what I'm looking for (but in a heavier weight).

Productus?

Both FF Legato (Bold, it’s quite dark) or FF Balance (Black) by Evert Bloemsma should fit the bill, although as far as I can tell neither has an ff ligature.

Didn't know about Productus. Legato also fits the bill nicely. Thanks, Florian and Antonio.
Still undecided, but getting closer. My favorites so far: Legato, Productus, Candara, Beorcana.

ITC Mixage by Novarese is an older font that has flaring strokes.

Hey Craig: good call on Mixage, I haven’t seen it used much and it’s a face that I have always thought had been severely underexposed.

Organon Sans.

Nice one, Nick! (Italics coming anytime soon?)
5 Aug 2010 — 12:12pm
I haven't even thought of doing them, so no, not anytime soon.

does Chianti go heavy enough for you?
5 Aug 2010 — 12:35pm
and you should be able to buy Hypatia Sans here.
5 Aug 2010 — 6:37pm
Yes, Chianti fits. (Thanks for the Hyaptia link as well.)
