Blog 1: Inappropriate Font Usage

Here is a extract of a menu from a local Indian Cuisine. The menu has been in the house for a long time (hence the crushes and folds in the photo) and i have only just noticed the inappropriate font usage! A thick stroked script has been used in all the headings of the different food types. This is quite difficult to read especially in the sections where a small font size has been used, for example in the accompaniments section. It may have been trying to give off an appeal of rich quality, However, it does not work well it is too heavy looking and in a way strains the readers eyes. Perhaps a better design would be as follows:

This changes the font from a script to a sans serif font that still holds properties such as the fluid motion in the letters such at the 'W'. It is much more legible than the original without adding any extra meaning that was not intended in the original design.
