Can anyone help me find an alternative titling face to Matthew Carter's Mantinia for use on the cover of a fantasy novel?
My biggest, perhaps only, complaint with Mantinia is how heavy it appears at larger sizes—especially when it comes down to flowing nicely, not being in competition, with the imagery of a fantasy novel's cover. The current interior typeface is Minion Pro. A titling face that pairs well with Minion Pro would be a big plus. However, I do not know if that is the finalized interior face, so it is not an absolute necessity.
I know it's being rather specific, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Did somebody say ligatures?

Oh wow, that's an excellent typeface. I think the only issue I have with it is the "flat" ends of the serifs.
