@Judson: I've loved Knockout since it was first released, but it's seen so much use lately (by folks I know/love/admire) that I can't bring myself to use it at the moment.
Univers, on the other hand, is one of the hidden classic gems, much like Trade Gothic. Plus it's a massive family.
Worth noting for those who care about such things:
These were shot with a Canon 5D MkII, at 100ISO, using a Canon 100mm ƒ/2.8 macro lens set to ƒ/5.6, all on a tripod set to the same height for each shot (so the scale of each texture is the same across the set).
I'm working on a few more concrete sets, and at least one natural stone set (vs. manmade). Paper sets are also planned soon.
I had a CD who, when critiquing every project, would say, "you should switch this to Univers… ". Now I can't stand it. This is lovely and perhaps Univers and I should try to work things out.
After months of traveling the world giving presentations, teaching workshops, and becoming enamored with Instagram, I'm finally finishing up one of the many little projects I've been working on.
Plugging away at the remaining details, should launch within the next week (though the actual price will be a bit higher).
Pre-launch teaser: there will be a discount for the first XX customers (haven't set the limit yet), and the launch announcement will be on Dribbble so ya'll will have the best shot at saving $$ :)

Yessir. I've been torn between Knockout Condensed and Univers for awhile now. Haven't bought either yet.

@Kevin: I've always liked Univers, but have never been happy when trying to use it in my own work. A few weeks ago, it just started to feel right.
Give it a chance, and it will love you in return ;)
