+ In the absence of a unified national approach, elementary education in the United States is supported by several private companies that espouse different approaches to teaching handwriting. + According to American handwriting expert Kate Gladstone, it is difficult to confidently determine which handwriting models are most commonly taught in the country, but among the most widespread are Zaner-Bloser and D’Nealian, both following a traditional style, and Handwriting Without Tears. + Two other programs featuring + + modern cursive models + + — Getty-Dubay and Barchowsky Fluent Hand — are rapidly gaining interest as writing models not only for children but also for adults seeking to improve their handwriting. +

+

+ Playwrite USA Traditional is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages. +

+

+ To contribute, see + + github.com/TypeTogether/Playwrite + + . +

+
+ +

+ Playwrite USA Traditional characteristics +

+

+ This style follows the traditional American style of Zaner-Bloser and D'Nealian, featuring a slanted continuous cursive. + Capital letters vary in appearance, with some like 'I', 'H', and 'G' being more decorative, and others such as 'A', 'N', and 'M' maintaining a cursive style. + The construction of the letters appears fast and is complex in certain characters. + Ascenders and descenders include loops to facilitate continuous writing, with mirrored loops in 'p' and 'q' enhancing the flow. + Consistent with other English-speaking models, the entry strokes for 'v' and 'w' are distinctly different. +

+ +

+ Playwrite USA Traditional appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘US’ and a the ‘Trad’ abbreviation, + + Playwrite US Trad + + . + It features four styles: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, and Regular. +
+ The download .zip file includes the variable font and standard static ttf fonts for each style. +

+ +

+ Playwrite fonts for schools +

+

+ 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 + + Playpen Sans + + , an informal and fun typeface designed for annotations, instructions, and student notes – that also includes emojis. +

+

+ How to install the fonts? +

+

+ + Windows: + + Download the font file to your computer. + Navigate to where you saved the font file and double-click it to open. + Click the "Install" button at the top of the font preview window. + The font is now installed and ready to be used across your apps. +

+ How to use the fonts in apps? +

+

+ The Playwrite font family uses complex OpenType features to generate connected writing. + Some common applications require these features to be manually activated. +
