Irregular flared serif with a handwritten rhythm and uneven letter widths
Buttermilk Biscuits
Buttermilk Biscuits is a serif with a handwritten rhythm: the serifs flare unevenly, the letter widths vary, and the capitals mix proportions so a word reads as something lettered by hand with a broad nib.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Buttermilk Biscuits.
The capital B is drawn wide with a flared stem and an open lower bowl, while the following capitals turn narrow, and that variation is deliberate — it is what keeps the word from looking like a manufactured roman. The lowercase mixes forms too: the t crosses with a slanted bar, the i carries a wedge dot, the s keeps an open spine and the c closes with a flared terminal. Weight sits in the stems with a moderate contrast, and the serifs flare outward rather than bracketing in, which gives the face its farmhouse character. Because the widths vary, the fit is uneven and wants manual spacing at display sizes. The blush ground, the taupe ink and the three caption lines are presentation; the typeface is the two words.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Buttermilk Biscuits’s stroke geometry.
Label for a home bakery
The uneven serifs make a printed label read as hand-lettered, which suits a small bakery selling at a market where every label sits at 11 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print on a 55 by 75 mm label: set the bakery name at 11 pt, set the product in a 6 pt caps sans beneath, and leave 5 mm of margin so the flared serifs are not cut by the rounded corner.
Pre-production check
Uneven widths shift when a long word is set; check the artwork with the longest product name and space the flared letters by hand.
Menu cover for a rustic reception
The flared serif gives a menu cover a broad-nib character without a script, and the mixed widths fill a wide format at 48 pt.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print an A5 cover: set the title at 48 pt across the upper half, set the date in a 9 pt caps sans beneath, and keep 16 mm of margin so the flared terminals stay inside the trim.
Pre-production check
A flared serif at 48 pt uncoated looks softer than on screen; check the proof on the chosen paper and keep the stems at least 3 mm wide.
Window decal for a farm shop
The handwritten rhythm reads as painted lettering on glass, and the uneven widths keep a shop name from looking like a supermarket sign at 12 cm.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Cut a 500 by 250 mm vinyl decal: set the shop name at 12 cm, set the opening hours in a 4 cm sans beneath, and hold 6 cm from the glass edge so the flared serifs are not trimmed by the frame.
Pre-production check
Vinyl cutters need a minimum stroke and weeding gap; check the vector at full size and widen the flared thin points before cutting.

Rough serif with italic
Rustic Portrait
Rustic Portrait is a rough serif in warm cream over a sepia photograph of two people on a garden bench: moderate contrast, soft worn serifs and a slight tilt, with the first word in the roman and the second in the same cut, and a tracked line beneath naming the italic and bold.
Soft handwritten serif with irregular small details
Alchemist
Alchemist shows black mixed-case letters with modest contrast and softly uneven edges, where a wide A and rounded lowercase bowls sit beside a tall h and a lightly curved t terminal, and the title rests on cream next to a small botanical line drawing and handwritten-serif wording.
