Parkinson: Paris Art Nouveau Guidebook?

ggalileo

I am creating a guidebook for Paris, a portfolio piece, and I am wondering if the font Parkinson is too decorative and sharp for body text. I am focusing on an Art Nouveau theme, with some focus on Hector Guimard, and thought I would go with a serif font. Thoughts? Guidance to using Parkinson or other font recommendations?

Well, you may check this one:
