Aviano font strikes me as a beauty and a rarity. It says to me; influence, meaningful, momentous and high profile. It must be those serifs. I'm always attracted to R's, K's and Q's decenders that do the swooshy thing. They give the words a nice graphical element.

Cora is a sans serif with an experimental bent, offering a large x-height, some contrast of stroke weight, and capitals inspired by classical lettering.

Where can you get it? Cora @ Myfonts.com
