Fonts by use
Free fonts for restaurant, café and bakery menus
A menu typeface tells guests what kind of place they are in before the first dish arrives: rustic slab serifs for a burger bar, elegant italics for fine dining, handwritten chalk-style faces for a café board. This collection groups fonts that set that scene while staying readable in low light and at arm's length.
Use a characterful display face for section headings and the restaurant name, and a calm serif or sans for dish descriptions and prices. All fonts are free to download; a business menu is commercial use, so read the license in the ZIP.

Menus people can actually read
Dish names at 12–14 pt, descriptions at 9–11 pt, and prices in the same weight as the dish name so they do not shout. Avoid thin scripts in dim rooms and keep decorative faces to headings. Align prices consistently (right-aligned columns or inline after the description) and leave real white space between sections. For chalkboards, use chalk-style fonts at 40 pt or larger.
Questions about fonts for restaurant menus
- What font should a restaurant menu use?
- A readable text face for descriptions paired with one display font that matches the concept: slab serif for casual, high-contrast serif or script for upscale, handwritten for cafés and bakeries.
- Are these fonts free for a commercial menu?
- Downloading is free; a menu for a business is commercial use. Open the license file in each ZIP; many fonts here permit it, others sell an inexpensive commercial license.
- How many fonts should a menu use?
- Two at most: one for headings and the name, one for everything else. Use weight and size, not more fonts, to build hierarchy.
