Bouncing tail script with long entry and exit swashes

Farmhouse

Farmhouse is a bouncing tail script in which the letters sit at different heights, the strokes swell on the downstroke and long swashes enter and leave the word, so a name reads as hand lettering on a painted board.

Visual anatomy & craft review

Letterform structure
of Farmhouse.

The f rises into a tall loop, the a closes a round bowl, the r finishes a light arm, the m keeps three even shoulders, the h climbs a tall stem and the e turns a light eye, all at a brush contrast with a bouncing baseline and swashes drawn at both ends of the word. The bounce is the character: the letters shift up and down around a nominal line, which is why the sample sets one name across a wide board with room for the swashes. Because the downstrokes are heavy, the face holds from 24 pt and prints on most stocks; the swash tails need margin on both sides. The white board, the arch of small caps above and the credit below are presentation; the black script name is the face.

Practical applications

Project & layout
blueprints.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Farmhouse’s stroke geometry.

Wedding

Sign for a barn wedding

The bouncing script gives a painted sign its hand-made warmth, and the entry swash fills the long side of a wide board at 60 mm.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Paint a 900 by 300 mm board: set the name at 60 mm, let the entry swash run 90 mm to the left, and keep 35 mm of border so neither swash is cut by the frame.

Pre-production check

A swash painted to the frame edge looks cut; check the board and keep both tails 30 mm inside the outer line.

Brand & packaging

Mark for a farm shop

The bounce and the tails suit a small shop identity, and the heavy strokes stay solid at 20 pt on a kraft label in one ink.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print a 70 by 45 mm label: set the shop name at 20 pt, set the address in a 6 pt sans beneath, and keep 5 mm from the die so the exit swash stays whole.

Pre-production check

An exit swash cut by the die looks broken; check the imposed label and centre the name on the swash rather than the stems.

Autumn

Card for a harvest supper

The bouncing script gives a printed harvest card a written feel, and the bounce stays legible at 30 pt on a textured card.

Hierarchy & layout recipe

Print an A6 card: set the greeting at 30 pt in the upper half, set the date in a 9 pt caps serif beneath, and keep 14 mm of margin so the tails sit inside the trim.

Pre-production check

A heavy script on a textured card fills its joins; check the printed card and keep the greeting at 30 pt or above.
