At some point in the future, will aim to put together some typescripts using Latin Modern as base, and probably New Computer Modern (Greek, Hebrew, Coptic, etc.) and/or MLModern (slightly heavier per design size) as fallbacks.

(Also MLModern in particular is designed to match Latin Modern's encoding files etc.)

Each has its advantages and application cases for fallbacks across optical sizes, and it doesn't get more TeXie than experimenting with CM derivatives -)

(Wolfgang mentioned Antykwa Poltawskiego, and there are other possibilities as well.)
