The Foundation Fonts for Australian Schools collection is a set of handwriting fonts designed specifically to meet Australian Education standards. While weights, widths and optical sizes were carefully crafted to work well in an Australian classroom environment, they are just as comfortable to read and work with in the home environment. Each Australian state teaches different handwriting styles in lower primary school (although some states do share the same style). There are essentially three stages involved with each state's styles: The foundational stage involves learning basic letter formation. The transitional stage adds joining ligatures to some letters. The cursive stage joins almost all letters (with some exceptions). The SA School Fonts include: South Australia Beginner Alphabet - a simple sloped print for early primary school. Students in South Australia learn the Beginners Alphabet from years 1 and 2, moving on to Pre-Cursive from year 3. Google Workspace users are provided standard versions online, however they may download or build the complete OpenType versions from GitHub for local installations.
