+In Vietnam, an official handwriting model for teaching in primary schools was adopted in 2002. It is called the <i>mẫu chữ thảo tiếng việt</i>, or <i>Vietnamese official cursive script</i>, 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.
+</p>
+<p>
+Playwrite Việt Nam is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.

+<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 prioritised 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.

+Playwrite Việt Nam appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘VN’, <i>Playwrite VN</i>, and features four styles: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, and Regular.

+The download .zip file includes the variable font and standard static ttf fonts for each style.

+<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.
+</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.
