The weirdest font choices I saw at a new cafe in Portland

I stopped by this new coffee place called 'Brew & View' last week, and their menu board was a total mess. The main heading was in this super fancy script font, like something you'd see on a wedding invite. Then the coffee names were in a blocky, all-caps font that looked like it came from an old video game. The prices? Comic Sans, no joke. It was so hard to read, and the whole thing just clashed. I actually asked the barista about it, and she just shrugged and said, 'The owner's kid made it on the computer.' I felt bad, but it was honestly funny to see such a wild mix in real life. Has anyone else run into a public sign with fonts that just don't work together at all?

Saw a bank sign in Papyrus once.

Oh man, Papyrus for a bank sign is brutal. I saw a dentist office using Comic Sans on their whole building once.
