Faces similar to Optima and Accent Graphic…
Hi, I've seen some nice faces out there similar to Optima, but I don't know their names.
I would like to get the names of other vertique sans (Optima like) faces; any suggestions?
I have supplied the links to the two mentioned faces as a reference:
Optima:

I found a couple but nothing that beats the clean shapes of Optima and Accent Graphic.
Unless anyone has any specific suggestions, I'll stick to those.

Oystein,
Some people think my Neptuna is similar to Optima, but with another “edge“.
Unfortunately not released yet. But hopefully soon.

Nice Göran, it looks promising, I love the alternative glyphs!
When is it due for shipping?

What about the impending Beorcana from Carl Crossgrove?

Yeah, I was going to say Young Finesse too, especially the nice italic version (with swash caps that can be used with the regular version as well).

In fact, Stella preceded Optima.

Thank you all for your great suggestions, I'll have to take some screenshots and compare them. Young Finesse by Doyald Young and the upcoming Neptuna Goran Soderstrom looks promising.
