The two dredges with a minute in between is the kind of detail that only ever survives in handwriting, and here it is written under the double red margin where it belongs. Nine amounts in sepia down the column, the four hours noted above them, a grease spot low on the page that is entirely in character.

What this style does
A real school notebook: ruled squares across the page, a double red margin, binder holes, a dog-eared corner, a piece of tape, a grease spot. The title, the headings and the amounts are written by hand.
Schoolbook cream, pale blue rules, red margin, sepia ink. A running hand for the title, a reading serif for the text. The object it imitates is a school notebook written on the kitchen table.
Who it is for
The recipe that already lives on a scrap of paper, grandmothers, kitchens where nothing gets thrown away.
What is in it
8 chicken drumsticks, 3 cups buttermilk, 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tbsp paprika, 1 tbsp garlic powder, 1 tsp cayenne pepper, 2 tsp black pepper, 4 cups vegetable oil.
