-The Austrian Elementary School Curriculum, updated in 2003, stipulates that by the end of the second grade, students should achieve legible and fluent handwriting based on the <em>Österreichische Schulschrift</em>, or Austrian school script. This model was originally created in 1946 drawing upon the foundations of <em>German Sütterlinschrift</em>, but underwent several reforms before its last version was introduced in 1995.

-This cursive style, available in upright and slanted (italic) versions, features oval foundational forms and medium-length extenders. It favors fast writing and it is mostly joined, but some letters with crossbars require pen lifts. Uppercase letters are cursive and semi-joined. Notable shapes include Kurrent-style 't,' an 'f' with a loopless descender, a crossbar in 'Z', and knots in certain lower cases.

-The adoption of the current models and approach can be traced back to 1990, when the Australian Education Council (AEC) recommended that all schools in the country should adopt a handwriting style based on Scottish calligrapher Tom Gourdie’s Simple Modern Hand. The AEC advocated for a consistent style in handwriting instruction across the country so students relocating across states and territories would not face difficulties. Despite starting from the same source, today the <a href="https://fonts-dev.sandbox.google.com/?query=Playwrite+Australia">five main handwriting models</a> have diverged somewhat in their details.

<h4>Playwrite Australia Tasmania characteristics</h4>
<p>
-This semi-connected, slanted modern cursive features print-style capital letters. The lowercase letters are loopless, and characters with descenders, as well as the letter 's', do not connect to the following letter, allowing for faster writing. The style is characterized by a high stroke speed. Notably, the letter 'G' is open, and 'Y' has a peculiar design. The 'f' is disconnected with a curved descender. The letters 'b' and 'p' have closed bowls, while 'r' and 'z' are presented in an italic style. Additionally, 'q' finishes with a small exit stroke, contributing to the fluidity and distinctiveness of this handwriting style.

-This modern cursive includes elements of continuous cursive styles, such as the open bowls in 'b' and 'p'. The only loop is on the ascender of 'f', while 'm' and 'n' feature curved entry strokes. Letters with descenders, except for 'f', do not connect to the next letter, giving a more distinct and clear semi-connected appearance. The 'z' has a very open design with a descender. In line with other Australian models, 'g' also features an open design. 'M' is noted for its plain legs, and 'q' ends with a small exit stroke.

-The Dutch-French language divide in Belgium, a phenomenon with roots stretching back to the Middle Ages, continues to be relevant in the country today. Traditions of handwriting education exemplify this circumstance and reflect the country's historical ties to France and the Netherlands. Regardless of the handwriting model adopted, students learn print-style script letters in kindergarten and progress to connected letters in primary school. In Flanders, there is a preference for sloped continuous cursive writing, reminiscent of Dutch handwriting models, whereas the French-speaking community in the <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+BE+WAL">Walloon region opts for upright cursive writing</a>, a style that enjoys popularity in France. This diversity in handwriting education is a direct response to Belgium's rich linguistic culture, leading to the introduction of a second official language early in the school years.

-Educational Vertical cursive models first appeared in the 19th century in France, England, and the USA as simplified forms of their predecessors, Roundhand and Spencerian styles, respectively. The upright cursive writing did not enjoy a long period of popularity in northern European and Anglo-American countries. It was, however, widely adopted in Spain, Portugal, Italy, and France, where it is still used. From these countries, it traveled to erstwhile colonies such as Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Chile, among others. In Brazil, this resulted in the replacement of the then-popular models of handwriting, such as Palmer from the <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+US+Trad">US</a> and commercial Roundhand script from England, with the vertical cursive approach.

-The traditional method of handwriting instruction in Canada is called <em>MacLean’s Method of Writing</em>, and was developed by educator Henry Boyver MacLean in the mid-20th century. Building upon letter shapes devised by Austin Norman Palmer in the <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+US+Trad">United States</a>, MacLean introduced several changes to suit the needs of school instruction, such as modifications to teaching methods and the addition of motor preparation exercises. Even though MacLean’s books have not been used in Canada for several years, his letter shapes survive in schoolbooks published by regional governments and private publishing houses. They are widely used in the majority of Canadian primary schools.

-The most prevalent style of handwriting taught in Chile is known as <em>‘letra ligada’</em>, or joined letters. This form of cursive handwriting is introduced to children as early as 6 years old, either alongside print letters or as a standalone style. It can be seen as a slantless variant of <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+GB+J">English roundhand</a>, a calligraphic style that emerged in England, gaining widespread popularity in the 18th century, but Chilean type designers note that, while there are structural similarities between the two styles, there are also notable differences. For instance, <em>letra ligada</em> typically features shorter ascenders and descenders, and its uppercase letters are less ornate. This divergence is present in both contemporary typographic and calligraphic examples.

<h4>Playwrite Chile characteristics</h4>
<p>
-This upright continuous cursive features a mix of uppercase styles. Letters like 'A' and 'N' are plain and cursive, whereas others such as 'Q' and 'T' are more decorative and intricate. The lowercase letters have medium-length extenders with loops and are characterized by their rounded forms and slow stroke speed. The letter 'q' is distinguished by a mirrored loop on its descender. The 'o' includes a knot, and the letters 'm', 'n', 'v', 'w', 'y', and 'z' begin with curved entry strokes.

-The Colombian cursive style <em>‘letra pegada’</em> is visibly rooted in the traditions of the Palmer method, created by Austin Palmer (1860–1927) in the United States at the turn of the last century. It has many similarities with cursive writing models in North American countries (<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+US+Trad">United States</a>, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+MX">México</a>, and Canada), which also descend from the same style. This influence can be seen in the <em>‘cartillas’</em> or handwriting education booklets produced by private publishers, which play an essential role in the teaching of reading and writing in the country.

<h4>Playwrite Colombia characteristics</h4>

-Following the tradition and current use of these booklets, Playwrite Colombia is a very slanted continuous cursive. Its lowercase letters have medium-length ascenders and descenders with loops that favor writing whole words without pen lifts. Based on the Palmer style, these loops are mirrored in the descending strokes of letters 'f' and 'q'. Some uppercase letters, such as the 'G', 'L' and 'Z', have decorative and complex cursive shapes.

-Literacy education in Cuba is notable for its distinctive approach: students are introduced to two different styles of letters from the outset, one for reading and the other for writing. Textbooks feature print-style, typographic letters represented by either geometric or grotesque sans serifs for reading. These styles are consistent across all workbooks and textbooks, with the exception of those focused on writing and calligraphy. For these, a fully-joined, cursive style is used, drawing inspiration from calligraphic models from the <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+US+Trad">United States</a>, notably the Palmer Method, created by Austin Palmer , and the Zaner-Bloser method, developed by Charles Paxton Zaner and his partner Elmer Ward Bloser.

-There are two main models used for handwriting education in the Czech Republic. The first, known as <em>Zjednodušená psací latinka</em>, or Simplified Latin script, is a continuous cursive hand. This model was officially ratified by the education ministry of erstwhile Czechoslovakia in 1932 and underwent its last revision in 1978. The second model, Comenia Script, features unjoined letters and was endorsed by the ministry in 2012. The national curriculum, which was last published in 2013, provides no further prescriptions about handwriting, and as a result, schools have the autonomy to select either model for instruction.

-In Germany, education is regulated at the state level rather than at the national level. Each state defines its own models and methods of teaching handwriting in primary schools. The common goal is acquiring a personal style of connected handwriting at the end of primary school in fourth grade (10-11 years old). Emphasis is on the flow of connected writing, letter recognition, and legibility, not the exact imitation of individual letters.
-</p>
-<p>
-In most states, teachers and schools can choose from three cursive styles: <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+DE+LA">Ausgangsschrift (LA)</a>, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+DE+VA">Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift (VA)</a>, and <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+DE+SAS">Schulausgangsschrift (SAS)</a>. But in 2010, the <em>Grundschulverband</em>, or Association of Primary Schools, presented an alternative progressive approach for handwriting teaching: <em>Grundschrift</em>, based primarily on a print-style script with some added cursive elements, like <em>Häckchen</em>, or exit strokes. Some German states, like Bremen and Hamburg, allow this method to be used in schools, in addition to the dominant Ausgangschrift systems. According to Das Deutsche Schulportal, Grundschrift is taught in 10% of all German schools.

-This style is a simple precursive, entirely disconnected. The uppercase letters are simplified print forms, notable for a two-stroke 'R' and an 'M' with a raised middle point. Several lowercase letters retain the characteristic exit stroke typical of precursives. The letter 'k' is constructed using two strokes, and the 'f' features a straight descender, distinguishing it within this straightforward style.

-This continuous cursive features a medium slope, short extenders, and a deliberately slow stroke speed. The capital letters present a restrained appearance, with only a few exhibiting decorative or cursive traits. The lowercase letters have looped ascenders and descenders, and 'm', 'n', and 'r' begin with a curved entry stroke. This typeface displays a German-style 't' that can be executed without lifting the pen. The letter 'f' has a straight and loopless descender, while 'r' and 'z' are designed with an italic structure.

-In Germany, education is regulated at the state level rather than at the national level. Each state defines its own models and methods of teaching handwriting in primary schools. The common goal is acquiring a personal style of connected handwriting at the end of primary school in fourth grade (10-11 years old). Emphasis is on the flow of connected writing, letter recognition, and legibility, not the exact imitation of individual letters.
-</p>
-<p>
-In most states, teachers and schools can choose from three cursive styles: <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+DE+LA">Ausgangsschrift (LA)</a>, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+DE+VA">Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift (VA)</a>, and <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+DE+SAS">Schulausgangsschrift (SAS)</a>. But in 2010, the <em>Grundschulverband</em>, or Association of Primary Schools, presented an alternative progressive approach for handwriting teaching: <em>Grundschrift</em>, based primarily on a print-style script with some added cursive elements, like <em>Häckchen</em>, or exit strokes. Some German states, like Bremen and Hamburg, allow this method to be used in schools, in addition to the dominant Ausgangschrift systems. According to Das Deutsche Schulportal, Grundschrift is taught in 10% of all German schools.

-This typographic hybrid draws from fully joined modern cursives but includes looped ascenders. It features a slanted orientation with short ascenders and descenders, creating a round and restrained appearance. The capital letters are mostly simplified and print-like, with a very distinctive 'G' that lacks both a descender and a crossbar. The lowercase letters connect with each other, except for 'q'. A standout feature is the lowercase 'b', which combines a modern cursive shape and connecting stroke with an uncharacteristic loop on its ascender.

<h4>Playwrite Danmark Uloopet characteristics</h4>
<p>
-This slanted modern cursive features no loops, creating a streamlined appearance with short ascenders and descenders. It maintains a round and restrained look. The capital letters are largely simplified and print-like, highlighted by a distinctive 'G' that lacks both a descender and a crossbar. Lowercase letters with descenders, such as 'g' and 'y', do not connect to the following letter, and 'm' and 'n' start without a curved entry stroke. Despite its italic structure, 'b' and 'p' are designed with connecting strokes.

-The <em>‘écriture cursive’</em>, 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 <em>‘Lettre Ronde’</em>, originally written with a broad nib pen and ink. Students learn <em>‘écriture cursive‘</em> by writing letters over <em>Séyès lines</em>, 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.

-The <em>‘écriture cursive’</em>, 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 <em>‘Lettre Ronde’</em>, originally written with a broad nib pen and ink. Students learn <em>‘écriture cursive‘</em> by writing letters over <em>Séyès lines</em>, 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.

-The Indonesian Ministry of Education and Culture introduced a standard, national model for handwriting education through an official decree in 1983. The model was updated in 2009, but the original is still preferred. According to the model, students first <em>‘learn huruf‘</em> lepas, or loose letters, followed by <em>‘huruf sambung‘</em>, or cursive letters. Across the country, handwriting is taught using this model, and it is featured in workbooks produced by popular private publishers in Indonesia.

<h4>Playwrite Indonesia characteristics</h4>

-This style uses the traditional French model as its basis. It features upright, connected cursive letters with notably long ascenders and descenders. The letters, characterized by their rounded shapes, are written slowly. Capital letters blend printed and decorative elements, notably in 'Q', 'K', and 'L'. The lowercase 'f' has a mirrored bottom loop. Letters 'm', 'n', 'v', 'w', and especially 'z', begin with a curved entry stroke. The lowercase 'b' is distinguished by a knot, and interestingly, the 's' does not adopt a cursive form.

-In practice, however, each school can choose its own methods for teaching handwriting. Most teachers start with either print script (locally called “manuscript”) or precursive letters in junior and senior infant levels. From Class 1 onwards, students are taught to add exit strokes to letters and then connect them to achieve a cursive hand.

-According to this system, students should first be introduced to the lowercase letters of <em>Grunnskrift</em> or the initial model. These are simplified and unconnected letters, slightly slanted and with exit strokes. This should be followed by uppercase letters of the same model. Finally, in the third grade (8-9 years old), students learn <em>Tengiskrift</em> or joined letters.

<h4>Playwrite Ísland characteristics</h4>
<p>
-This slanted modern cursive handwriting is crafted for high-speed writing and features print-style uppercase letters, with 'M' notably having splain legs. The lowercase letters are inspired by early Italic calligraphies, including the chancery style. Letters that end with a descender do not connect to the subsequent character, making this a semi-connected model. Both 'b' and 'p' feature closed bowls, while 'z' and 'r' are designed with an italic structure, stressing the script’s aesthetic and functional attributes.

-Since the 1992 educational reform, the curricula for primary education no longer provide details about handwriting instruction or specific writing models. Moreover, it grants teachers the freedom to choose teaching methods for reading and writing instruction during the earliest stages. However, nearly all private schools and most public ones teach cursive writing — either alongside or sequentially — with print letters. But the resources they use for teaching cursive writing are privately acquired from publishing houses or created by teachers themselves.

-In this context, local type designers have been commissioned to create typefaces that match the styles familiar to teachers. These typefaces are usually similar to North American penmanship models, more likely, a derivative from the National Commission of Free Textbooks workbooks dating back to the 1960s.

<h4>Playwrite México characteristics</h4>
<p>
-This slanted continuous cursive closely mirrors North American models such as Palmer or Zaner-Bloser. The uppercase letters are cursive and include some complex shapes, notably in 'F', 'I', and 'G'. The lowercase letters feature medium-length extenders, with 'f' and 'q' displaying mirrored descender loops that add intricacy. The letter 'z' is designed with a curved top, while 'b', 'v', and 'w' incorporate knots, contributing to the overall ornate style. The construction of the letters is characterized by a slow and complex execution, emphasizing the deliberate and decorative nature of this handwriting style.

-In Nigeria, there is an emphasis on students receiving instruction in the language they hear and use every day. This poses a challenge in a country with limited resources and great linguistic diversity. Apart from four widely spoken languages — Hausa, Igbo, Yoruba and English — there are hundreds of regional languages as well as dialects. As a result, teacher training and educational resources are required for several languages.

-In the past, before the widespread use of computers, there was greater emphasis on handwriting. Today, while private schools with more resources may adopt foreign models like Nelson Handwriting, public schools face financial constraints, impacting their ability to prioritize handwriting education. Given these circumstances, the handwriting style learned by students is often influenced by the habits of their parents and teachers, and they end up mimicking what they see around them.

-In The Netherlands, handwriting education commonly begins in <em>Groep</em> 3 after students have learned fine and gross motor skills in previous years. The most widely used handwriting model in classrooms is <em>verbonden schrift</em>, a slanted continuous cursive with loops. However, teachers have increasingly opted for <em>blokschrift</em>, which features unjoined, simplified print letters. Some teachers choose to instruct in both models: one after another, together, or in a permutation that suits their students.

-In Norway, the most prevalent form of handwriting in education is the <em>stavskrift</em>. It is an unlooped modern cursive style that borrows elements from continuous cursive writing. Students are taught uppercase and lowercase letters in <em>trykkskrift</em>, a simplified print script, in the first grade. In the middle of the second or beginning of the third grade, they are introduced to <em>stavskrift</em> and learn joining strokes between letters. This path may vary at the discretion of the teacher or the school, but in fourth grade, students are expected to have well-formed and legible handwriting with a certain degree of fluency.

-The style of handwriting currently taught in New Zealand is specified in Teaching Handwriting, a Ministry of Education publication, which was developed in response to teachers’ requests for guidance on the style of handwriting that should be taught in primary school. Teachers and schools usually create their own resources for handwriting instruction based on the style advocated in this document. It was first released in 1985 and again in digital format in 2008. Even though Teaching Handwriting outlines a progressive handwriting system that advances from simplified print script to cursive writing, sometimes teachers will not teach the latter if it is not practical given their students' learning levels and other curriculum needs.

<h4>Playwrite New Zealand characteristics</h4>
<p>
-This modern cursive style is extremely fast and slanted, featuring simplified print-style uppercase letters. Notable are the open 'G' without a crossbar, a serifed 'I', and a 'Y' with a slanted stem. The lowercase letters are semi-connected, exhibiting a very fast and angular construction typical of modern cursive styles based on italic forms. The letter 'f' has a straight descender, and 'q' is distinguished by a short exit stroke that serves as a finial, enhancing the dynamic and streamlined appearance of the script.

-Due to the absence of handwriting education guidelines in the curriculum and no prescribed model, there is a great deal of diversity in the approaches to handwriting teaching. The most widespread method is to teach uppercase print-style letters first and connected cursive writing second. However, in some schools, students may start with cursive writing in the first grade itself, and in others, cursive writing is not taught at all. An important difference is seen in private schools, where handwriting may be taught using models imported from abroad. For instance, Spanish-English bilingual schools teach using the Sassoon model that was developed in England.

-Even though writing may be introduced in preschool, systematic teaching of handwriting only happens in the 1° Cycle. Since schools have pedagogic autonomy in Portugal, there are differences in how handwriting is taught. However, it should be noted that they must meet the curriculum goals set out by the government and are subject to periodic external evaluations. Schools usually begin with <em>‘letra impressa’</em>, or print script letters, starting with capital letters for students aged 5–6 years old, before moving to a fully joined, vertical cursive writing, known as <em>‘escrita vertical’</em>. There are also some traditional schools that start handwriting teaching with <em>letra de mão/manuscrita</em>, or cursive letters from the beginning.

-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 <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+US+Trad">traditional style</a>, 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.

-This style is a straightforward, completely upright modern cursive. The uppercase letters adopt a simplified print style, with notable features including a serif on 'I' and an 'M' with a raised center.

<h4>Playwrite USA Traditional characteristics</h4>

-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.

-In Vietnam, an official handwriting model for teaching in primary schools was adopted in 2002. It is called the <em>mẫu chữ thảo tiếng việt</em>, or <em>Vietnamese official cursive script</em>, and has been in use from academic year 2002-03 onwards. Based on this model, students learn to write in both upright and (optionally) sloped cursive letters, without ever being taught print letters. Nevertheless, they do practice drawing the basic strokes that make up letters in preparation. Handwriting education happens between Grades 1 to 3, and while students are introduced to writing using a pencil, they graduate to writing with fountain pens while they are still in primary school.

<h4>Playwrite Việt Nam characteristics</h4>
<p>
-The model follows the structure and proportions of the upright, monolinear version of the Vietnamese official cursive script. These are the versions that are prioritized for teaching, while others may be introduced if the situation is conducive. The letter shapes derive from the French traditional vertical cursive writing, featuring long ascenders and descenders and round and fully joined lowercases. Letters 'b', 'r', 'v', and 'w' make use of knots to change the stroke direction, 'n' and 'm' have curved entry strokes and 'x' is created by means of two mirrored curves. Notable upper case features are the triangular yet decorative shapes of 'A', 'V' and 'W', and an 'S' with an upright spine.

-Through its website, the Department of Basic Education produces and distributes documents that outline curricula, educational goals and guidelines, implementation notes, and assessment policies. The Curriculum Assessment Policy Statements (CAPS) outlines the steps and objectives for handwriting instruction and specifies that students learn motor skills in Grade R, and unjoined upper and lowercase letters in Grade 1. They then gain speed and proficiency in Grade 2, and proceed to cursive writing. The document does not, however, prescribe any handwriting models that should be used for teaching.

-Despite the absence of a recommended model, teachers, specialized publishers, and educational resource providers have converged on their choice of fonts for handwriting education. Geometric “ball and stick” letters are used for the first stage of instruction, and a very slanted continuous cursive style is used thereafter.

<h4>Playwrite South Africa characteristics</h4>

-This continuous cursive features a gentle slope and a relatively slow pace of construction. The uppercase letters incorporate cursive elements, with looped descenders in 'G', 'J', 'Y', and 'Z', enhancing their fluidity. The lowercase letters have looped ascenders and descenders to support seamless connections between letters. Notably, this style does not include curved entry strokes in 'm', 'n', 'v', and 'w', which is a departure from typical continuous cursives. However, it includes distinctly curved shapes in the letters 'x' and 'z', adding a dynamic element to the overall script.
