+<p>
+    Playwrite England SemiJoined Guides is a single-weight font designed to harmonize seamlessly with its companion, <a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+GB+S">Playwrite England SemiJoined</a>. This font includes guideline markers on the baseline, x-height, ascenders, and descenders, providing a visual aid for primary school children. These guides help young learners grasp the proportions of letterforms and assist them in drawing letters with confidence and accuracy.
+</p>
+<p>
+	England has been the incubator for several prominent handwriting styles that
+	still influence teaching around the world. One of the earliest examples is the
+	English Roundhand, which was used in business and education in the 19th
+	century.
+</p>
+<p>
+	The implementation of modern cursive styles in classrooms is probably the most
+	influential development for contemporary handwriting education. They draw from
+	the ideas of the Italic Handwriting Revival movement of the early 20th century,
+	and the work of its proponents. Alfred Fairbank (1895–1982) proposed modern
+	italic writing, based on chancery models, as a new approach to teaching
+	handwriting with the aim of simplification and faster writing speed. Recently,
+	it has been one of the most popular approaches to handwriting teaching in
+	England. Of the twenty-three methods described in the National Handwriting
+	Association’s 2013 guide to writing methods for teaching, thirteen were
+	<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+GB+J">fully joined</a> or
+	semi-joined modern cursive styles. Important among these are Nelson
+	Handwriting, Tom Gourdie Modern Hand, Jarman Handwriting, Marion Richardson,
+	and Sassoon-Williams model.

+
+<h4>Playwrite England SemiJoined Guides characteristics</h4>
+
+<p>
+	Guidelines are present in all characters except for those used for letter spacing. To create a versatile font for teachers designing practice sheets that feature guidelines without corresponding letters, the underscore is used as a key character. It replaces the glyph shape with the guidelines and matches the width of the letter space.

+<h4>Family name in font menus</h4>
+<p>
+	Playwrite England SemiJoined Guides appears in font menus with a two-letter country
+	code ‘GB’ and an ‘S’ for the SemiJoined, <strong>Playwrite GB S Guides</strong>, and features a single Regular weight.
+	<br />
+	The download .zip file includes the static font for this guided version.

+
+<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>
+<p>
+	For more information about the Primarium project, visit
+	<a href="https://primarium.info/">primarium.info</a> and to learn more about
+	handwriting education in England, see

+<h4>How to install the fonts?</h4>
+
+<p>
+	<strong>Windows:</strong> Download the font file to your computer. Navigate to
+	where you saved the font file and double-click it to open. Click the "Install"
+	button at the top of the font preview window. The font is now installed and
+	ready to be used across your apps.
+</p>

+
+<h4>How to use the fonts in apps?</h4>

+	activated.

+	in text editors. If you use the common 'B' button, you will automatically

+	"World-Ready Layout" from the contextual menu.
