Spent $80 on a font license and it saved my whole rebrand

I was redoing a local cafe's logo and the free font I picked just looked cheap, like a default Word doc. Paid for a proper license to a nicer typeface and suddenly the whole brand felt premium and intentional. Anyone else had a small spend make a huge difference like that?

Honestly, it's just a font though. Tbh most people won't even notice the difference between a free one and an $80 one. I've seen plenty of cafes do just fine with basic stuff. Feels like designers make a bigger deal out of this than normal people.

Yeah, I get that. My buddy's bakery used a free font for years. Then he switched to a paid one for his new sign. Got way more compliments. People notice more than you'd think.
