About these fonts
A stylish font usually earns its look through restraint: fine strokes, generous spacing and classical proportions. This selection leans on Roman-inscription capitals (Cinzel, Forum, Marcellus), airy high-contrast serifs (Italiana, Cormorant, Bellefair) and a couple of lighter geometric and humanist designs for a modern, minimal feel.
Elegant fonts need room. Use larger sizes, wider letter spacing for capitals, and plenty of white space. Thin fonts in particular can be hard to read on busy backgrounds or small screens, so preview them with your own text before you commit.
