Need pairing suggestion
Background: I created the font pictured here as the basis for a logo by manipulating Samarkan, mostly by removing the horizontal line across the top. The client, an event planner, wants an exotic but not specifically ethnic feel. Mehndi-inspired decoration will appear in the logo as well — again, trying not to be too specifically Indian but using similar flourishes.
Question: If you were asked to put the subtitle “custom designed events” below the company name, what secondary typefaces would you try?
Thanks for any suggestions!

Probably something clean, subtle, ’neutral’, sans serif. (Maybe slightly narrow/condensed. Because of the ’logo’ itself being quite ’quirky’ itself, already.)

As for actually ’naming’ and suggesting typefaces: ’Vafle’ (Condensed), by Tomáš Brousil; Or the newly released ’Scout’ (Condensed), by Cyrus Highsmith.

Thanks, Dav. I was originally thinking of something wide, in the same style as Century Gothic, so that it could span the width of the word Panache while remaining in a small point size. Do you think this would be a bad idea?
