font help please!

Hi there,

I'm working on a design for a client who is a jewelry designer; After looking at many art nouveau fonts she has chosen Gradl, (top 2). I need to make it strong enough and precise enough to stand out in a very rich and detailed line drawing. (see loose sketch below) The kerning and proprtions really need to spot on. Any comments would be appreciated! thx!

Gradl might work, but not in

Gradl might work, but not in lower case, if you really want to send the Art Nouveau message. In any event, I would recommend setting "yet" in a complimentary font, not merely a different point size of the main one. See Art Nouveau posters for period-specific ideas. BTW, any reason why you're giving up your right to choose the font? You're the designer, after all!

Agreed, and that "y" is

Agreed, and that "y" is going to give you fits if it remains lowercase.

thank you! Once I used Gradl

thank you! Once I used Gradl in caps things have been smooth(er) sailing. And it looks more true to the Art Nouveau style. Cheers!
