+<p>
+ 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
+ <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+US+Modern">
+  modern cursive models
+ </a>
+ — 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.
+</p>
+<p>
+ Playwrite USA Traditional is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.
+</p>

+<h4>
+ Playwrite USA Traditional characteristics
+</h4>
+<p>
+ 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.
+</p>
+<img src="Playwrite-USA-Traditional-3.png"/>
+<p>
+ Playwrite USA Traditional appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘US’ and a the ‘Trad’ abbreviation,
+ <i>
+  Playwrite US Trad
+ </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>
