Primary school curricula in Argentina focus on writing mostly from a comprehension and composition standpoint rather than from the perspective of handwriting. Even so, primary school students learn how to write with joined upright cursive letters from first or second grade. In the initial level, students learn print-style uppercase letters, followed by print lowercase letters in the first grade, and finally, cursive writing.
</p>
<p>
Playwrite Argentina is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.

<h4>Playwrite Argentina characteristics</h4>

<p>
As it happens in many South American countries, handwriting for primary education is rooted in the tradition of <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+FR+Trad">French Normal</a> schools. It is a round, continuous cursive style, and some of its most recognizable features are the long ascenders and descender loops, semi-connected uppercase letters, curved entry strokes on x-height, the knot in the letter 'o', and a crossbar in 'q' that requires a pen lift.

<p>
Playwrite Argentina appears in font menus with a two-letter country code ‘AR’, <i>Playwrite AR</i>, and 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.

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 <i>Österreichische Schulschrift</i>, or Austrian school script. This model was originally created in 1946 drawing upon the foundations of <i>German Sütterlinschrift</i>, but underwent several reforms before its last version was introduced in 1995.

<h4>Playwrite Österreich characteristics</h4>

<p>
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.

<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.

<h4>Playwrite Australia NSW characteristics</h4>

<p>
This semi-connected, slanted modern cursive features print-style capital letters. It is characterized by loopless extenders and letters with descenders that do not connect to the following letter. Construction exhibits an overall high stroke speed. Key features include an open 'G' without a crossbar and a uniquely designed 'Y'. The lowercase 'f' is disconnected and has a straight descender. The letters 'b' and 'p' feature closed bowls, enhancing their distinctiveness. Both 'r' and 'z' are presented in an italic style, contributing to the script's elegant and streamlined.
