A pedagogically grounded cursive script modelled on French school handwriting, with the rare addition of maths symbol support.
About
Borel occupies an unusual niche, designed to faithfully replicate the style of cursive taught in French primary schools, making it genuinely useful for educational materials and children's publishing. Its inclusion of mathematical characters extends its reach into technical or scientific educational contexts. The legibility at text sizes is better than most script fonts, though its informal cursive character keeps it away from professional body copy.
Classification
Borel is designed specifically to model clear, legible French cursive handwriting as taught in schools, with careful attention to letterform consistency and natural pen rhythm. Unusually, it includes mathematical symbol support alongside extended Latin coverage.
