I would like to make the font more chalky

I have read some tutorials online but nothing seems to work so thought I would ask the best.  I am including a flattened version, but I have the layered Photoshop version.

Do you have a link to a design you'd like to imitate the chalky-ness of?

Partially reducing opacity of all the text would be the first step.

I tried reducing opacity, but it just made it more grey than chalky.  Here is an example:  https://www.pinterest.com/pin/399272323190541653/

What makes you think those Pinterest ones weren't actually drawn with chalk, and photographed?

There are also chalkboard fonts that are specifically designed to look "chalky."  ETA: And I suspect most of the examples in that pinterest link were created with such fonts, if they weren't actual chalk designs that were photographed.

I have found several step by step tutorials that made any font look like it was on a chalkboard so  I will just keep looking at other tutorials online to see if I can get the look I want.  Thanks for the ideas and feedback.
