Droid Sans typeface looks very crisp. I also tested Free Sans which
looks similar too.
Droid Sans makes sense. As for Modata look alike, Comfortaa seems to be
a good candidate. There is also Arista 2.0 but I don't think the license
is compatible with Fedora guideline.

P.S: I am working on a French speaking Fedora community magazine which
is matching the quoted outlook. It is expected to be released next week
featuring a cover page of F13 Goddard wallpaper. Stay tuned.
