I'm looking for suggestions for an elegant font with some weight.?

Which is almost an oxymoron, but I think something like that should exist.

It's for awards graphics - using a sparkly diamond layer style - hence the need for some weight. Honestly - it could be serif (maybe - not sure about the thickness of the outline on the serifs, but I'd try), sans serif or script.

The picture is approximately the layer look I'm doing (and it's using Lobster - close, but no cigar).

I'd probably prefer a paid font to guarantee it's well made, but don't want to go over $30. An awesome free font is certainly worth me testing!

Any thoughts?

Update:

I see answers in my notifications, but not in the question (it says there are none). Guess YA is broken today!

antisociqlly - I'm creating the whole effect myself in Photoshop. I need clean fonts to start with

Dancing - don't get me wrong, I love Lobster - but, for example, the cap T is a little meh for this purpose. That Ballantine isn't bad - I think I'll throw it in Photoshop and see how it looks. Thanks!

    Book antica or the Garamond family. There are LOTS of elegant script fonts.

    I looked deeper in my installed fonts. May or may not be thick enough:

    Caslon, Francine, MavixHmk, Monotype Corsiva.
