How to use it

The lines are deliberately black and bold so they show through thin and standard (80 gsm) paper. Pick the spacing for your handwriting, and add 55° or 65° slant lines for slanted cursive. The outer frame marks the margins.

Print quality: the lines are true vector lines in the PDF, so they stay sharp on any printer at any zoom, and the file is tiny. Print at 100% (“Actual size”) so measurements stay exact to the millimetre. The file is created on your device.

Worked example

Lines every 10 mm for normal handwriting, or 8 mm for small writing.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with thick paper?
With thin and standard paper, yes. With thick cards, tape both sheets to a bright window or use a light pad.
What are slant lines for?
They keep a consistent letter slant in cursive and copperplate.
Can I use A5 or US Letter?
Yes — A4, A5, A3, Letter and Legal, portrait or landscape, with as many pages as you need.
