+<p>
+ All Australian provinces employ modern cursive letters for handwriting education, which are taught in a progressive manner.
+ But each state teaches its own version of this style, locally known as ‘script‘, and state-level departments of education offer guidelines and, in some cases, resources for schools and teachers.
+</p>
+<p>
+ 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.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Playwrite Australia QLD is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.

+<h4>
+ Playwrite Australia QLD characteristics
+</h4>
+<p>
+ This semi-connected, slanted modern cursive features print-style capital letters.
+ The extenders are loopless, and letters with descenders do not connect to the next letter, allowing for a fluid and fast writing pace.
+ Notably, 'm' and 'n' start with curved entry strokes.
+ Distinctive features include an open 'G' without a crossbar and a serifed 'I', adding a unique touch.
+ The 'Y' is peculiar in its form.
+ The lowercase 'f' is disconnected and features a straight descender.
+ The 'q' concludes with a short exit stroke, while the 's' maintains a cursive style.
+ The 'z' is designed to be wide and open with a descender, enhancing readability and style.
+</p>
+<img src="Playwrite-Australia-QLD-3.png"/>
+<p>
+ Playwrite Australia QLD appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘AU’ and a the ‘QLD’ abbreviation
+ <i>
+ Playwrite AU QLD
+ </i>
+ .
+ It features four styles: Thin, ExtraLight, Light, and Regular.
+ <br/>
+ 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>
