These are the strings I have been searching for for years. The tone is warm, not brassy like the Phosphor Bronze. The tone from these strings are unlike any other light gauge guitar strings that I have used. Try them and you will love them.

In a pinch, I had put a cheap set of bronze wound strings on my Selmer style guitar. After changing them out for these, I could hear a huge difference. The tone was much more vibrant and balanced. The bass is not overbearing as it was with the bronze strings. The only thing I don't like about them is that although they are "specially designed for Django-style acoustic guitar playing", they are ball ends instead of loop ends. While this isn't a big deal, it's compounded by the fact that D'Addario doesn't package the strings individually. Instead, they rely on color-coding the ball ends to identify which string is which. On a typical acoustic this doesn't matter at all, but on a gypsy style guitar where the string ends are exposed, you end up seeing a rainbow of little studs back at the tailpiece. Definitely the gypsy sound, just not quite the gypsy look. That said, for the price you can't beat them. I'll always go for sound over looks any day.
