-Playwrite is a typeface engine that allows the creation of primary school cursive fonts. This typeface is the practical result of the Primarium research project <a href="https://primarium.info">primarium.info</a> which studies handwriting instruction methodologies around the world. Its findings with regards to the calligraphic models currently in use, their development and rationale, informed the design of the Playwrite glyphs.
+The <i>‘écriture cursive’</i>, or <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+FR+Trad">traditional vertical cursive</a>, is the most used approach to handwriting teaching in schools in France. Its forms are inspired by the <i>‘Lettre Ronde’</i>, originally written with a broad nib pen and ink. Students learn <i>‘écriture cursive‘</i> by writing letters over <i>Séyès lines</i>, which are introduced during kindergarten (age ~5). Created in 1892, Séyès lines are a system of horizontal and vertical guidelines that govern the proportions of letters, and their ascending and descending strokes.
 </p>
 <p>
-The shape of the handwritten Latin alphabethas developed following different currents, trends and colonial influences around the world. As a result, the very notion of what constitutes primary school cursive writing varies dramatically. It could be vertical or slanted, fully joined or semi-joined, uppercase letters can be ornate and decorative or simply borrowed from print styles, lowercase letters can be based on round or oval foundational shapes, and the proportion of the x-height vis-a-vis the ascenders and descenders can differ.
+In an attempt to reform and modernize handwriting teaching in schools, the Ministère released two digital typeface families in 2013 — <i>Écriture A</i> by Laurence Bedoin-Collard and Heloísa Tissot, and <i>Écriture B</i>, by Marion Andrews. Both fonts follow a <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+IT+Moderne">modern cursive style</a> and are available for free on the Ministère’s website, along with information for teachers about the shapes and proportions of letters, and how to connect them to form words in the most logical way possible.
 </p>
 <p>
-The Playwrite France Traditional model is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.

+Closely following the <i>Écriture Droite</i> structure, this upright continuous cursive showcases very long ascenders and descenders and is characterized by round shapes that are executed slowly. The uppercase letters are decorative, with some, like 'R' and 'Y', designed to facilitate connections to subsequent letters. The lowercase 'f' features a mirrored bottom loop. Additionally, letters 'm', 'n', 'v', 'w', 'y', and notably 'z', start with a curved entry stroke, enhancing the fluidity of the script.

+Playwrite France Traditionnelle appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘FR’ and a the ‘Trad’ abbreviation, <i>Playwrite FR Trad</i>. It features four styles: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, and Regular.

+<h3>Playwrite fonts for schools</h3>
+<p>
+The Playwrite school fonts are based on the findings of Primarium, a groundbreaking educational effort that documents the history and current practice of handwriting models taught to primary school students worldwide. This typographic engine serves teachers, educators, and parents by generating localized libre fonts. These Playwrite fonts are complemented by <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playpen+Sans"> Playpen Sans</a>, an informal and fun typeface designed for annotations, instructions, and student notes – that also includes emojis.

+<h4>How to use the fonts in apps?</h4>
+
+<p>
+The Playwrite font family uses complex OpenType features to generate connected writing. Some common applications require these features to be manually activated.
+</p>
+<p>
+Note: This font family doesn't include Bold or Italic styles, so please avoid applying them in text editors. If you use the common 'B' and 'I' buttons, you will automatically generate low-quality styles.
+</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Microsoft Word:</strong> Go to Format in the Menu bar, select Font, and then the Advanced tab. Activate "Contextual Alternates" and "Kerning for fonts below" to apply these settings to all text sizes.
+</p>
+<p>
+<strong>LibreOffice:</strong> To select the different styles, go to Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu.
+</p>
+<p>
+<strong>Adobe InDesign:</strong> Open the Paragraph Panel and select Adobe "World-Ready Paragraph Composer" from the contextual menu.
