# Chalkboard Lettering: motion graphics style

> Chalkboard text effect: the word is lettered in dusty chalk capitals with a shadow and inline, framed by a ribbon and doodles, then wiped by an eraser. Great for cafe menus, classroom content, specials boards and a friendly website hero title.

## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Hand-letter [TEXT] in chalk on a dusty green-black chalkboard framed in warm wood, café menu-board style. A stick of white chalk draws tall capitals stroke by stroke; the strokes are grainy and broken where the chalk skips over the board, with small chalk dust specks falling from the tip. Add slab serifs, then a thin dark inline down the middle of each stroke and an offset drop shadow in pastel coral. Above, draw a ribbon banner with a small handwritten phrase; below, a flourished divider with a diamond and a few yellow sparkles. Old erase smudges ghost across the board. Hold, then a felt eraser wipes everything away in broad strokes, leaving a haze, and loop.
