Perfect font for an artist's portfolio.

[LouTheDesigner]

Hello,

I'm trying to think of a fancy-ish font for an artists website. The background is black and I'd like the font to be white. I just can't find anything that looks somewhat fancy and readable.

This is for a navigation bar on the site btw.

You can use the stylish fonts as actual text (not a graphic representation) by embedding them from google's directory

I haven't tried these yet, so let me know if you do.

A good specific answer to this might depend on the artist's style. But have you looked at California FB Italics?
