Font is Jane Austen (16pt) from Pia Frauss. I did it in Word because I know better what I do there.

The note background colour (first one) is RGB 238, 236, 225, but I don't like the sharp edges. But to me at least, it looked even worse with a border, maybe it would be acceptable to me if it had an indefinite (random fuzziness) edge with a hint of something on the reverse and it bore evidence of being 'crumpled' - but I suspect I would still prefer the 'paperless' one.

Enough already BR

PS : errata - if Golden Beeches is set in late 19th century (when it was written), Violet almost certainly would have used a steel nib pen, quills had fallen out of use by then. But handwriting styles didn't change much; this is a letter from Emmeline Pankhurst (suffragette) to Lloyd George (UK PM) written in 1916. Coincidentally Emmeline like Violet was anxious.
