Letterboard menu
A café 'letterboard' menu: white press-in letters, each set a hair off true, on a grooved black felt board in a brand-colour frame — the dishes and prices the post lists, read the way regulars read the board above the counter.
When the AI picks it
MarketiQ’s Creative Director favours the Letterboard menu for posts that get people to act, teach or announce news, when the message is several products or a menu, a list or an offer or deal. It is built first to get people to act.
It reads each post’s goal and shape first, then its own words, the platform and the facts you have, and offers this template only where it fits.
Who it’s for
Made for Food & drink · Serves customers locally. The Director offers it only to brands of that kind, so it never turns up for a business it does not suit.

What it needs
Only your post. It is made from your copy and your brand kit — there is nothing else to prepare.
Rules the AI follows
Word for word from the template library. The Director follows the copy rules when it writes into the template, and the visual review checks every creative against the visual rules.
Copy rules
- Every item and price is one the post or the menu states; leave the price empty rather than guess it.
- Board lines are short: a dish name of two or three words and its price.
- The bottom line is a real detail from the post (a swap, a timing), never a boast.
Visual rules
- A black grooved felt board in a brand-colour frame on a pale wall, filling most of the canvas.
- Every line is white uppercase press-in lettering with letters slightly misaligned; prices right-aligned.
- The title is flanked by two small star marks; the logo sits on the wall, not on the felt.
