thanks for those - I'll try BODONI - it kind of says what I want. I know it was a vague request trying to define French-ness in a typeface - what was I thinking!

thought I should add that since I've been in Germany a lot of people have asked if I'm American and when I say "No, I'm Canadian" they're like "Oh..." as if they don't know what to say.
Most of the people assume it's always snowy there and that we all eat maple syrup and have bears and moose everywhere.
