Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Simple Chalk.
The plate is a chalkboard mock-up, and the construction suits it: the letters are outlined rather than filled, and the interior is a rough diagonal hatch, so the word reads as chalk drawn on a board rather than as a printed face with a texture applied. The uneven edges and the open counters keep it legible at a moderate size, and the hatching sets the size floor because the stripes close first. The introducing line and the studio credit are product copy, and the dark ground is staging. It suits a menu board, a card and a poster for a cafe, a school or a handmade subject, and it is one of the clearer chalk-style faces at small sizes.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Simple Chalk’s stroke geometry.
Menu board for a cafe
A chalk display reads as a board rather than a print, and the outlined letters stay legible where a solid chalk face would look heavy.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A3 board: the heading at 60 mm cap height, the items in a 14 mm sans, and the prices at 10 mm. Keep 26 mm margins and keep the hatch above 1.5 mm at the board size.
Pre-production check
Check the board at 60 mm, where the hatch closes; keep it above 1.5 mm. Confirm the 10 mm prices read at two metres and that the items stay within the frame.
Poster for a workshop
A chalk display names a workshop, and the outlined forms read on a dark poster where a fine hand would disappear. It reads on a dark poster.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A2 poster: the workshop at 100 mm cap height, the details in a 20 mm sans, and the venue at 11 mm. Keep 28 mm margins, print one colour on a dark stock and keep the hatch above 2.5 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the A2 at five metres, where the hatch turns to grey; keep the strokes above 2.5 mm. Confirm the 11 mm venue reads at two metres and that the sparkles clear the type.
Card for a teacher's thanks
A chalk card reads as a classroom note, and the outlined letters suit a message that is meant to look hand-written. It reads as a classroom note.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
A6 card: the greeting at 26 pt, the message in a 10 pt sans, and the date at 9 pt. Keep 15 mm margins, print one colour on a dark card and keep the hatch above 1 mm.
Pre-production check
Check the 26 pt greeting at home-print resolution, where the hatch fills; keep the stripes above 1 mm. Confirm the message keeps a 4.5:1 contrast and that the card folds flat.
