Author's note

Ecolier Lignes font by JM Douteau is a free school script typeface in the Ecolier family that instantly turns any page into a handwriting notebook. Its flowing, connected strokes sit on clearly drawn guide lines, mimicking the ruled exercise books used in early writing practice. The letters feel both careful and natural, with smooth curves and even spacing that help young learners see how words should sit on the line and connect from one to the next.

Using Ecolier Lignes, you can create handwriting worksheets, copybooks, classroom posters, educational printables, and children’s activity books that look like they came straight from a teacher’s desk. This free font also works beautifully in early literacy apps and digital practice sheets where the guiding lines matter as much as the script itself. For a clean hierarchy, pair Ecolier Lignes with a simple sans serif for headings and keep this script slightly larger for clear, traceable strokes.
