Video blackboard

I recently saw a large video display in a fast food outlet which imitated a blackboard. The menu and prices appeared to be chalk written
Does anybody know the program or how the effect was created?

Almost any digital signage application would probably be capable of it with the right font.

i have checked a number of digital signage sites but they all seem to want to have colour and all the bells and whistles. what I am trying to find is something that most people would think is a blackboard.
i was thinking maybe a spreadsheet if I could do a reverse positive to the display ie. put white writing on a black background?

Sorry no.
That isnt it.
I think it is basically white writing on a black background but the font used makes it appear to be a chalkboard.
Thanks
