Menu single sheet

Today's menu as one printed card: a narrow sheet centred on a full-width ground of the opposite colour. The venue sits at the head in small capitals, the day of the week at display size and the date under it, then the courses between hairline rules, each dish centred as its name, one line of description and its price. A note and one button close the card.

The day is the biggest thing on the card. A menu printed each morning leads with when it is for, so the heading is the weekday, a bare clamp(3.25rem, 7vw, 6.5rem), with the date beneath it and the venue small above. That scale collision, a huge "Thursday" over dish names at clamp(1.25rem, 1.6vw, 1.5rem), is what makes it read as today's sheet rather than a standing menu, and it survives colourlessness. The card is never wider than 36rem, so the ground around it frames it like paper on a table.

The day and date each morning, then the dishes and prices. Duplicate a dish group to add one; duplicate a course with the rule above it to add a course.

• The outer ground is contrast and the card is base with contrast type, each a two-rung chain; no text sits on the outer ground.
• The course labels start on role-label and fall through to contrast.
• The rules between courses are separators painted contrast, run across the card's measure.
• Dish names are on no ladder rung on purpose, set a step above body so the dishes are the second mass; descriptions take medium.
• The button is your theme's filled button; the typeface is your theme's.

• Every block is centred in a vertical flex stack, so nothing needs to collapse on a phone: the card simply fills the width less the side gutter.

aubergine-and-wine is a wine bar: a champagne #f3e9d2 card on deep aubergine #2b1624, aubergine type (14:1) and wine red #7b1e3a labels, prices and rules (8.3:1), with an italic Didot weekday over Baskerville, small plates above wines by the glass.
