Abril Fatface and Lato

Best for: café menus, chalkboard-style boards and bakery price lists. Abril Fatface takes its cue from the heavy titling fonts on 19th-century British and French advertising posters, so a single word like Coffee reads from across the room. Lato calms it down: Łukasz Dziedzic aimed for a typeface that feels transparent in body text, with semi-rounded details that keep a menu warm rather than stiff. Keep Abril to headings of two or three words, because its heavy strokes and hairline serifs get crowded in longer lines, and use Lato Bold for prices so they stand out without a third font.
