I used a script font for a coffee shop menu and it was a mess
I was making a menu board for my friend's new place in Portland and thought a fancy script called Pacifico would look great. But when I paired it with a simple sans serif for the prices, everything just looked crowded and hard to read from across the room. I learned that a really decorative script needs a super clean partner font, not just any basic one. What's a good, really thin sans serif that works with a bold script?

Ever try pairing Pacifico with something super thin like Lato Hairline?

Used to think Pacifico was way too loud for anything that thin but you just made me rethink that whole idea. The contrast between that bold script and hairline Lato sounds really clean, like the script gives the thin text some actual purpose instead of just looking fragile. Might have to steal this combo for something.

Actually tried that combo on a project last year. The contrast was wild, Pacifico felt even more playful next to all that thin, clean Lato. Kinda loved it for a fun header over super simple body text.
