Can we talk about pairing a script font with a monospace for a menu design?
I was working on a menu for a new cafe in Portland and wanted something that felt both fancy and modern. I had this beautiful script font called 'Bella' for the dish names, and on a total whim, I paired it with 'Courier New' for the prices and descriptions. I know, it sounds crazy, right? Everyone says scripts need a simple sans serif. But I tried it anyway, and the client loved it. They said the mix of the flowing script with the rigid, typewriter-style monospace made the menu feel unique and grounded at the same time. I was sure it would look like a mess, but it actually worked. It taught me that sometimes the 'wrong' pairing can be the right one if the vibe fits. Has anyone else had a pairing that broke the rules but somehow clicked?
