<p>
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
<i>
‘letra impressa’
</i>
, 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
<i>
‘escrita vertical’
</i>
.
There are also some traditional schools that start handwriting teaching with
<i>

, or cursive letters from the beginning.
</p>
<p>
Playwrite Portugal is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.

<h4>
Playwrite Portugal characteristics
</h4>
<p>
This upright continuous cursive model features decorative capital letters, with a notably distinctive 'Q' and an 'S' with a vertical stem.
The lowercase letters are constructed slowly and carefully, displaying medium-length, looped ascenders and descenders.
Letters 'm', 'n', 'v', and 'w' begin with curved entry strokes, while 'z' is characterized by a flat top.
Additionally, the letter 'f' has a mirrored descender loop, and the letters 'o', 'v', 'w', and 'z' include knots, enhancing the stylistic intricacy of this handwriting model.

<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>
