Fortune-telling character, fantastic (11)

I believe the answer is:

chiromantic

'fortune-telling' is the definition.
(chiromancy is palm-reading)

'character fantastic' is the wordplay.
'character' becomes 'chi' (chi is a kind of character**).
'fantastic' becomes 'romantic' (I've seen this before).
'chi'+'romantic'='CHIROMANTIC'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
