'romantic' (but not script) font needed

I need a font for a campaign that conveys “romance,” however, I do not want a script font.

This is for the headline (eg, display purposes)— the photography is romantic, but modern (clean, warm lighting)

I was thinking something along the lines of an elegant, clean, lightly-seriffed font.

any suggestions? thank you!

I ’said’ it before and I will state it any time again. ;) Nothing says ’romantic’ than many of the faces designed and released by Gert Wischer. (And you may also like some of the Canada Type types. )

Probably terribly old-fashioned of me, but I’d try Perpetua. I believe there is a font taken from a display-sized master (other than the titling, which is upper-case only).

I used Perpetua for a book on wedding photography once, I second that suggestion. It has a lovely italic.

Fournier is really nice too.

What about something calligraphic? Brioso Pro (Opticals) is very lovely and if you need it for large poster sizes don’t overlook the oft forgotten Brioso Pro Poster.
