A question for the men (and Cyd)

I've been looking for an embroidery font that is:
- large
- readable
- easy to embroider (few colors)
- medieval/tudor-looking
and
- not too girly.
Does this pass the "not too girly" test?
CYD:
What I'm thinking of is possible TW embroidery. I know you wanted something in more of a classic times roman, but all the stuff I'm finding there is either too boringly plain, too busy (the alphabet I already have), or way too floral. And occasionally all of the above and expensive to boot. There's a free Time Roman alphabet at Ann The Gran's site, but it's 6 colors per letter and has a small but undeniable flower on each letter. If we do something like this in the colors suggested - a dark red or black for the letter and a lighter green for the leaves - it should be readable enough.
