<p>
Italy holds an important place in the historical development of handwriting
styles. Handwriting produced in the Latin script finds its roots in the models
produced during the Italian Renaissance. The most prevalent form of handwriting
taught in Italy is an
<a href="https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Playwrite+IT+Moderna">
upright cursive style</a>
developed in the early to mid-20th century, which, according to handwriting
expert Francesco Ascoli, was prescribed in the country’s national guidelines in
1945.
</p>
<p>
At the beginning of the 21st century, the decline in the quality of handwriting
in Italy caught the attention of the educational community. To rectify this
situation, educators and handwriting experts started to explore different ways
to improve instruction in primary schools by revamping approaches and resources
for traditional handwriting education or introducing new teaching schemes. The
<em>Scrittura Corsiva</em> modern cursive project has gained significant
recognition among the latter.
</p>
<p>
Playwrite Italia Tradizionale is a variable font with a weight range from Thin
(100) to Regular (400), and supports over 150 Latin-based languages.
</p>

<h4>Playwrite Italia Tradizionale characteristics</h4>

<p>
This upright, fully joined, modern cursive features short ascenders and
descenders. It utilizes simplified print-style capital letters. Distinctive
identity traits include a serifed 'I' and an 'M' with splain legs. Lowercase
letters 'f', 'g', 'j', and 'y' employ descender loops to connect to the next
letter seamlessly. Both 'p' and 'b' are designed with closed bowls, 'k' is
constructed with two strokes, and 'f' is notable for the absence of its top
loop, creating a recognizable handwriting model.
</p>

<h4>Family name in font menus</h4>
<p>
Playwrite Italia Tradizionale appears in font menus with a two-letter country
code, ‘IT’ and a the ‘Trad’ abbreviation, <strong>Playwrite IT Trad</strong>. 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>
<p>

handwriting education in Italy, 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>
<p>
<strong>macOS:</strong> After downloading the font file to your Mac,
right-click it in Finder and select "Open With" > "Font Book". Then, click
"Install Font" in the font preview window that pops up. The font is now
installed and ready to be used across your apps.
</p>

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

<p>
The Playwrite font family uses complex OpenType features to generate connected
writing. Some common applications require these features to be manually
activated.
</p>
<p>
Note: This font family doesn't include Bold or Italic styles, so please avoid
applying them in text editors. If you use the common 'B' and 'I' buttons, you
will automatically generate low-quality styles.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Google Docs and Slides:</strong> From the font selector drop-down, go to "More Fonts"
and search for the desired font name, in this case, "Playwrite IT Trad", and click OK.
If some text is already selected, the font choice will apply.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Microsoft Word:</strong> Go to Format in the Menu bar, select Font, and
then the Advanced tab. Activate "Contextual Alternates" and "Kerning for fonts
below" to apply these settings to all text sizes.
</p>
<p>
<strong>LibreOffice:</strong> In macOS, to select the different styles, go to
Format in the Menu bar, select Character, and use the Typeface menu.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Adobe InDesign:</strong> Open the Paragraph Panel and select Adobe
"World-Ready Paragraph Composer" from the contextual menu.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Adobe Illustrator:</strong> Navigate to Preferences > Type, check the
"Show Indic Options" box, and close preferences. Then open the Paragraph Panel
and select "Middle Eastern Composer" from the contextual menu.
</p>
<p>
<strong>Adobe Photoshop:</strong> Access the Paragraph Panel, then choose
"World-Ready Layout" from the contextual menu.
</p>
