Frutiger is pretty nice:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frutiger_(typeface)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frutiger_(typeface)</a><p>I like (am used to?) the Italian one too:<p><a href="https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfabeto_Normale" rel="nofollow">https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alfabeto_Normale</a> (derived from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_(typeface)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_(typeface)</a> )<p>I don't much care for the Austrian/German ones though:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1451" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_1451</a> - apparently it was designed by committee.
