Every family has one of these written on the back of something, and this is the style that admits it. Nine amounts in sepia down the column, the vinegar-while-hot instruction noted where it cannot be missed under the double red margin, tape at the top and a corner turned down from use.

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
3 lb potatoes, 4 hard boiled eggs, 1 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp yellow mustard, 1/2 cup dill pickles, 1/2 red onion, 2 celery, 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar, salt and pepper.
