Which type stays readable on a printed menu?

A type with an open eye reads, at a size that holds in the light of the table, for the dish name and a smaller size for the description. A thin script does not, nor a screen size carried onto paper. Print a column of dishes and read it standing, in the dining-room light, without bringing it close. If you miss a price, the size is too small. On sierra menus the description is set in pale grey and at night it cannot be read. The floor ends up reciting what the paper hides. Two locked sizes, dish and description, tested on the paper of the run, with leading that does not collide. The sheet notes the minimum size.
