About Edu SA Beginner

Edu SA Beginner is a handwriting typeface that reproduces the beginner alphabet taught in South Australian schools. It is part of the Foundation Fonts for Australian Schools, a collection drawn to match the handwriting styles that Australian states prescribe. This one covers the first stage, basic letter formation: a monoline print hand with a consistent forward slope, unjoined letters and small exit flicks on letters such as a, d and u that prepare for later joining. According to the collection notes, South Australian pupils learn it in years 1 and 2 before moving to a pre-cursive style in year 3. The font is variable on a weight axis from 400 to 700, with Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold instances. This build is small, at 127 glyphs: unaccented Latin letters, figures and punctuation. The notes mention fuller OpenType versions in the project repository.
