Thanks to this Chinese take-out menu I now know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am an uber-design-nerd-dork. When was the last time you tried to divine the reasoning behind a font change between to similar pieces of information enclosed in a box?

A designer sees the informational needs as well as the compositional requirements.
