The menu was designed by Bernard Glemser, who credits 'SM.' for the availability of the multiple type faces used. It is printed on three sides with pink ink on yellow paper and has a red banner fixed around the outside reading 'The Double Crown Club Menu of the Month'. A small card slip found inside is printed in red and black, demonstrating typefounders' terminology applied to the letters Mheg.
