No doubt you could improve it further. The borders felt like too much chrome. You could also experiment with a subtly different background color for the cards... not sure if it would work. Or more padding, etc. Basically, the idea is there are many way to achieve visual "separateness". > I'm also deeply curious how someone looks at a page and decides things like "the title should be serif." The proper mixing of serif / sans-serif is a standard technique. If you look at pretty much any web page that looks really well-designed to you, they'll have a "font palette" just like a color palatte. Often it will be just two fonts but sometimes more, and it's typically a mix of serif and sans. I am not a professional designer... I've just picked up a bit over the years.
