Letter Board Menu Template

Stick strictly to the pre-set monospaced fonts like Courier Prime and Roboto Mono, and keep your alignment centered. Avoid using italics or highly decorative fonts, as physical plastic letters rarely come in those styles.

While the classic design uses a deep charcoal and dark grey for a traditional vintage look, you can adjust the background hues. However, sticking to dark, matte shades ensures the white and red text remains legible and the felt illusion stays intact.

The Letter Board template is best suited for shorter, highly curated menus or daily specials boards. Because monospaced fonts take up more horizontal space, extensive menus might look cluttered; consider using this specifically for your drinks list or chef specials.

Use the red sparingly to highlight key elements like category headings, prices, or a 'Chef's Special' tag. Overusing the red will dilute its impact and detract from the authentic vintage aesthetic.

It prints beautifully, especially when using high-quality matte or uncoated cardstock to enhance the 'felt' texture illusion. It also works exceptionally well as a digital menu board displayed on screens behind a till.
