About Edu QLD Hand

Edu QLD Hand is a handwriting family made to match Australian education standards, representing the letter shapes used in Queensland schools. The letters slope to the right, are written with an even line and stay unjoined, but many lowercase forms end in a small exit flick that prepares for later joined writing; the specimen shows this on a, d, h, m, n and u, and the f and g carry long descending strokes. It is a variable font with one axis, weight, running from 400 to 700, with named instances at Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold. The file holds 1,371 glyphs for Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets. The catalogue credits Tina Anderson and Corey Anderson; the name table adds Eben Sorkin and gives Sorkin Type Co. as manufacturer. It is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.
