FontFilter: What font would work well with various family members of Briem Akademi?

I'm a graphic design student and I'm beginning to design a personal identity set: business card, letterhead, envelope. I have my basic design finished, which uses Briem Akademi for the name (family members are semibold, regular and condensed).

While these look fine for the name, I don't think it's going to work for contact info as far as readability goes. I don't know whether I should use a sans-serif font or a serif font. Any ideas/suggestions?

That's a pretty aggressive font and won't chime with many things. Don't even think of pairing it with anything like a classical serif font. Nor will a bland sans work with it. You have to carry through the squareness and the upright forms. I've found three possibilities but there are undoubtedly others:
