Damn, yes please.

Another cool font, but less original, I stumbled upon recently is Marelle https://marelle.forge.apps.education.fr/ for cursive.

    No problem translating it with Firefox :

    This project is supported by the Digital Directorate for Education of the Ministry of National Education, and developed in the Forge of Digital Educational Commons.

    The Marelle police is designed specifically for teaching cursive writing in elementary school, it was developed by a team of teachers and designers specialized in writing systems.

    Teaching Cursive Writing

    Structure and sequence of letters, rhythm and proportion, contextual variants: the Marelle font was thought around specific criteria to offer a quality model to teachers and students. Particular attention has been paid to the trace of numbers, capital letters and punctuation. A complete professional tool

    The Marelle police offers 3 types of variants:

        uppercase sticks or cursive

    "Marelle is a free cursive font designed for teaching handwriting in [French] elementary school."

    I'm not sure they owe it to anyone to make the website available in English :-)

      That there is not much use for an english version -- is only evident to me with hindsight after reading the english translation :)

      Thanks

Nice! That looks pretty similar to the one in "Cuadernos Rubio", a system that was super popular from the 60s to the 90s in Spain (that still exists) for learning handwriting in primary school.
