Letterform structure
of Bachelor Notes.
Bachelor Notes is a felt-pen handwriting face with real fibre texture, uneven pressure and a lively baseline, drawn to look like notes taken quickly on quadrille paper. The letters are mixed case, tall and slightly slanted, with the pen's lift points visible, and the texture is baked in so a page reads as photographed rather than typeset. It needs roughly 9 mm to look like legible handwriting and holds up to 40 mm before the fibre starts to look like dirt. It is a prop, journal and heading face, and it should not be set as long body copy.

Lecture-note template, study-guide cover and whiteboard print
Felt-pen texture reads as notes taken in class, which is what a study template is imitating, and the mixed case holds at 10 mm on a printable page. The grid-friendly baseline lets it sit on ruled paper.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Template A4, body 10/16 pt on a 5 mm grid, 20 mm margins, headings 16 mm. Cover 210 x 297 mm, title 34 pt. Whiteboard print 900 x 600 mm, word 120 mm.
Pre-production check
A textured face printed at 10 pt on 80 gsm shows through from the reverse side and the page reads as noise. Print one duplex proof, and if it ghosts, raise the stock to 90 gsm rather than lightening the face.
Zine page, notebook insert and essay opener
A real felt-pen texture reads as a reproduced notebook rather than a styled page, which is what a personal zine is doing. The uneven baseline keeps a short paragraph human at 11 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Zine A5, body 10.5/16 pt on a 78 mm measure, 15 mm margins, page numbers 8 pt. Insert 105 x 148 mm, heading 14 mm, body 9.5/14 pt. Opener 22 pt on a 12 mm baseline with 8 mm above the first line.
Pre-production check
Zines are photocopied and a fibre texture turns into grey speckle that competes with the text. Print one test spread on the actual copier, and if the texture muddies, reserve the felt-pen face for headings.
Handwritten thank-you note, recipe card and gift tag
Felt-pen writing reads as a note left on a counter, which is warmer than a printed card at the same size. The texture gives weight to a short message without needing decoration.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Note 105 x 148 mm, message 10/15 pt, 18 mm margins. Recipe card 105 x 148 mm, title 14 mm, method 9/13 pt. Tag 50 x 90 mm, name 9 mm, hole 5 mm clear.
Pre-production check
Note cards are printed on textured stock and a felt-pen texture on top of paper grain looks dirty at 10 pt. Print one card on the intended paper, and step the body to 11 pt if the two textures fight.
