I finally made it: the font based on the few letters that my favourite Biscuit carries.
I wanted such a font to add to my font collection of unusual or art-craft-themed fonts (started when we had our first internet-capable computer in 1999). As I couldn't find this font I looked at Art Nouveau and Art Deco style fonts, also at furniture and wall papers of that period --- that kind of guided me when working on the 'missing' letters of this font which must have been designed before it could be chosen for the biscuits, and which I neither have found nor do I know its real name.
The UC are on biscuits. The LC are only the letters, on the level they have on the biscuits to enable a kind of 'Majuscle' arrangement for texts.
Diacritics of more Latin are done, also useful symbols and punctuation. A crumb-free "+" is on the "%", a biscuit with surface dips is on the "(" and one with a flat surface is on the ")". The square brackets, when used without a space or letters, will make into a narrower biscuit, and are also used like round brackets.

Just showing that I did manage to make the deliciously crunchy version of the font. The Biscuit de l'Ouest with low calorie rating ;) is still for DL.
Now I'm hungry, lol. I really like the curls. I might, however, turn the starting terminals on T, 7, and the +, so that they follow the same angle. The top of five, as well, I think would look better if it mirrored E. I would also mirror the bottom legs in E, L, and 2, and maybe lower the bar on 4—maybe angle the initial leg like 1? Other than that I like it. :)
