Friendly rounded serif with a low contrast and warm curves
Kitchen Garden
Kitchen Garden is a friendly serif in which the serifs round off, the contrast stays low and the bowls widen, so a two-word title reads as a plaque over a farmhouse kitchen door.

Visual anatomy & craft review
Letterform structure
of Kitchen Garden.
The K opens a soft junction, the i carries a round dot, the t sets a curved bar, the c turns a wide crescent, the h rises on a rounded stem and the e closes a warm eye, all at a moderate weight with rounded serifs and wide open counters. The softness is the character: nothing is sharp, which is why the sample sets two words between drawn cutlery and a small laurel. Because the strokes are moderate and the counters open, the face reads from 22 pt and prints on uncoated stock without filling in, and it comes with frame ornaments in the bundle. The white board, the cutlery, the leaf sprigs, the chef hat and the small caps lines are presentation; the dark serif words are the face.

Concrete hierarchy, scale and production guidance tailored to Kitchen Garden’s stroke geometry.
Sign for a kitchen garden cafe
The rounded serif suits a cafe identity, and the wide counters keep a two-word name readable at 30 mm on a painted board.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Paint a 700 by 250 mm board: set the name at 30 mm, keep 30 mm of border, and paint in one deep colour so the rounded serifs stay soft rather than blunted.
Pre-production check
A soft serif painted with a hard brush loses its roundness; check the board and use a round-tipped brush for the terminals.
Label for a small preserve jar
The warm serif suits a preserve label, and the moderate weight holds a product name at 18 pt on a paper label in one ink.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 60 by 45 mm label: set the product name at 18 pt, set the weight in a 7 pt sans beneath, and keep 5 mm from the die so the rounded serifs survive the cut.
Pre-production check
Rounded serifs cut by a small die look uneven; check the imposed label and keep 4 mm of clear ground.
Menu for a garden reception
The friendly serif gives a menu a relaxed formality, and the open counters keep a long dish name clear at 18 pt on a card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Print a 105 by 210 mm menu: set the dish names at 18 pt, set the courses in a 10 pt caps beneath, and keep 12 mm between courses so the rounded serifs have air.
Pre-production check
Serifs printed close to a leader rule look crowded; check the proof and drop the rule 2 mm.
