Billboard-Style Headers
The Anton typeface provides a tall, condensed geometric look reminiscent of street-art and festival signage.

Bright seashell white (#FFF5EE) text ensures maximum readability against the heavy ink background.
Flame Motif Dividers
Subtle, abstract flame shapes are used to separate menu sections without cluttering the layout.
Questions About This Template
Since this design uses heavy ink coverage, we recommend using a thicker card stock with a matte finish to prevent the paper from curling and to avoid fingerprints.
Yes, vibrant Caribbean dishes like curries, slaws, and charred meats look incredible against the charcoal background, as the contrast makes the food colors pop.
The single-column layout is best for focused menus with 15-20 items per page. If your menu is extensive, we recommend spreading it across two pages or using double-sided printing.
While the colors are fully editable, the template is specifically engineered for a dark mode aesthetic. Switching to a light background would require darkening the text colors significantly for readability.
Anton is designed as a display font, so it is used strictly for headers in this template. We pair it with Roboto for descriptions and prices to ensure perfect legibility at small sizes.
