@proof_and_co@frerejones Eric, who designed Landform, puts it between geometric and grotesque, but also says it doesn’t neatly fit either. It's an interesting question — when exactly does something become a trend that deserves classification or does it fit into an existing category.
@tntype Have you tried comparing the .ttf and .otf? TTX both and then compare/diff in a text editor. Maybe you'll find a clue as to what's different between the two, since one works as expected and the other doesn't.

@aditiger28@TiroTypeworks I second Alice's Capucine (which has some relation to Auriol from Craig's comment). I would add Vendetta from John Downer. — Nicole
