Shoutout to the menu design at that little cafe in Portland

Honestly, I was at The Daily Grind on 3rd Avenue last week and their menu just looked so good. They paired a bold, chunky serif for the coffee names with this really clean, thin sans-serif for the descriptions. Ngl, it made me want to try designing a cafe menu myself. Has anyone else seen a font combo in the wild that just worked perfectly?

Bold, chunky serif with a clean sans-serif" is basically the holy grail of menu design. I read a blog post that called that combo the "trust me, then tell me" approach.

Trust me, then tell me" is such a good way to put it. I always thought mixing fonts looked messy, but that phrase actually makes a lot of sense.
