Handwritten Cyrillic. Handwritten font Primo allows you to create copybooks for first-graders and preschoolers with any texts for every taste

Finally the child learned (to some extent) to write letters. What to do next?

My opinion on this matter radically differs from the ideas of school methodologists. In traditional school copybooks, in addition to letters, there are also a hundred or two separate words and a couple of dozen sample sentences, which in terms of content and euphony roughly correspond to the famous saying: “Mom washed the frame.” But now the copybooks have been completed - and quickly, quickly for the spellings! (You might think that spelling patterns are the greatest achievement of Russian literature at all times!)

I believe that acquaintance with the formal rules of spelling (a la Rosenthal) can be safely postponed for at least another five years - after a person has an easy, elegant, fluent (and literate!) handwriting. For now, it makes sense to focus on practicing writing as a purely mechanical skill. To do this, you need to write a lot, and, above all, rewrite it.

At the same time, parents should keep in mind: the content of the text to be rewritten will have an important impact on the formation of the child as a person. It doesn’t matter at all whether it comes from his pen: “Mom washed the frame,” or: “Wind, wind! You are powerful..." When a person rewrites Pushkin, he becomes a little Pushkin; and if you rewrite the fabrications of feeble-minded Methodists, you may inadvertently become infected with their feeble-mindedness.

In my opinion, poems by good Russian poets are best suited for rewriting. It is from them that it is most logical to learn Russian. I set a rule for my children - every day they must rewrite five lines of poetry, and at the same time learn them. Hackwork is not accepted. My instructions are like this:

Your daily task is to write five lines in a row from this poem (poem) beautifully and without errors. If you make a mistake or at least a blot, then you don’t have to rewrite anything again, you just continue to write further - you write and write - and don’t lift your butt from the chair until it turns out that you have written five “good” lines contract.

My two oldest children had to copy from books from the very beginning. This was not entirely fair to them: after all, the text in the book is printed. They had to develop beautiful handwriting without having a role model in front of them. (At first I wrote such samples with my own hand, but then I got tired of it.)

My third child, Anton (now six years old), was luckier in this sense. I made a computer font for copybooks, and now it costs me nothing to print out samples for him in the required quantities. (This font will be enough for him for the next two years. And then he will have to make another font - to develop a more fluent, “adult” handwriting.)

We use different types of copybook texts: for example, “black” and “gray”. They are named after the color of the letters. Faded, gray letters are good because a child can trace them with a bright (capillary) pen. This is an excellent transitional exercise that prepares you for the actual copying from the model. Copybooks with black letters are better suited for rewriting. However, the most popular among us are “striped” copybooks: first there is a black line (for the sample), then - with the same text - a gray line (for the outline), and finally, the third line is left blank for you to fill out yourself.

So, I present to readers a font (TrueType) called Primo. This is the look it gives to one of the shortest phrases containing all 33 letters of the Russian language:

And here are the files with sample copybooks.

As you know, there can never be too much of a good thing. This also applies to fonts. A beautiful, balanced font can decorate any project. But finding the right typeface can sometimes take a lot of time, especially if the designer needs a handwritten font. Such fonts differ from serif and san serif in that they often imitate the designer’s handwriting or his vision of how a handwritten font should look. This is not to say that there are few such fonts; on the contrary, there is an obvious overabundance of them. But there aren't that many really good handwritten fonts, especially free ones, so designers have to scour a lot of sites in search of the real diamond. FreelanceToday brings you 20 free handwriting fonts that can be used in both personal and commercial projects.

King Basil, a handwritten font created by designer Missy Meyer, has thick strokes, but is also very soft and slightly feminine. The font is free and can be used in a variety of projects, both digital and print. King Basil is great for creating logos; you can use it to type headlines and make announcements for various events.

Milkshake creator Laura Worthnington wanted to make a handwritten font that was versatile, friendly, and easy to read. And she succeeded 100%. The font turned out to be very successful, moderately massive, but not rough. The symbols flow harmoniously, all letters fit well together. Milkshake turned out a little vintage, looking at it, for some reason I remember the Coca-Cola logo. The font is perfect for retro projects; it can be safely used in advertising food products or products for children.

The Variane font was developed by Voi Moch Tomi, art director of the Work Ins Studio agency. This stunning handwritten font is reminiscent of good old classic design and it’s even surprising how successful it turned out - after all, this is the debut for the creator. The font is dense, the characters are somewhat elongated vertically, but it looks very light. Great for headlines, logos, and can be used in a variety of projects because it looks so elegant.

Created by designer James Edmondson, the handwritten font Lavanderia looks very romantic. Interestingly, the source of inspiration for the developer was the inscription made on the window of a laundry room located in one of the areas of San Francisco. Lavanderia is distinguished by graceful strokes and smooth curves. If you need a font that fits well into a light, elegant design, then this is it. The font has three styles, the lightest of which looks as if the characters were written with a very fine pen.

Fabfelt font was created by French graphic designer Fabien Despino. “I aimed to create a handwritten font that was grain-free, natural and a little old-fashioned,” says the creator. The font is really great for a variety of retro projects, but it can also be used for headings and used in combination with lightweight sans serif fonts. Separately, it is worth noting the design of lowercase characters - the letters turned out so well that this font can be used to type quite large amounts of text without losing readability.

The Debby handwritten font is not particularly elegant, but it still looks very nice. The strokes are uneven, a little sharp, which gives the font a natural feel; it seems that the letters were drawn with a wide brush. It is ideal for posters, flyers, wedding invitations and similar projects. Where you need to add naturalness and avoid excessive formalism, using Debby will be a good solution.

A very interesting font, Black Jack, was created by designer Ronna Penner from the Tipadelic studio. The font is a little scratchy, reminiscent of not very good handwriting. However, the capital letters look very good, they are light and well balanced. Although this handwriting font is only available in one style, it has 177 characters, including upper and lower case characters and all numbers.

The Allura font is distinguished by thin, sweeping strokes; it is moderately stylish and romantic. However, the letters turned out to be well legible, so this font can be used in a wide variety of projects. It is perfect for wedding invitations and other similar projects. Users who have downloaded this font note that it is great for tattoos. Quite a strange use of a handwritten font, but it happens. Yes, the font is completely free and can be used in both personal and commercial projects.

Among handwritten fonts, sometimes you come across real masterpieces, and Dancing Script is just such a case. A very beautiful, rounded and carefully calibrated font. Everything about it is beautiful: strokes, flows and semi-ovals. He literally reeks of romance. This font was intended to be vintage, but it looks very modern. The lowercase characters jump a little, which gives the typed text a friendly and informal appearance.

Anke, one of the best open source handwriting fonts, was originally developed by designer Anke Arnold. Subsequently, other developers joined the work and international characters from Fontgrube Media Design were added to the font. The font is only available in True Type format. Even though Anke looks a little sloppy, it's a really nice font that looks great in lowercase.

Legibility is very important for handwritten fonts, especially when it comes to logo designs or header typography. The Oleo font is just like that: it is quite dense, there are no unnecessary curls, so the text typed in it will be readable. The font is universal - it can be used in a variety of projects. It is suitable for designing packaging, wedding invitations, and can be used to type out titles for posters and leaflets. Oleo has massive strokes and is dense and balanced. The font is currently available in Regular and Bold styles.

This beautiful and slightly frivolous font was created by Dieter Steffman, who decided to retrain from a typesetter to a font designer. This font is distributed completely free of charge, this is part of the philosophy of its creator - fonts are part of the cultural heritage and therefore should be accessible. Honey, a sweeping, slightly nervous font. It will look great in a variety of informal projects.

Marketing Script is another work by Dieter Steffmann that shows the versatility of this designer. The font is definitely vintage; these were widely used in the 60-70s of the last century. The font features fluid, connected characters that look good when spaced far apart. Marketing is suitable for retro projects, especially those related to automobiles.

This beautiful and legible handwritten font was designed by designer Vernona Adams. Pacifico is a fairly dense font, but it doesn't look too chunky or bulky. It can be used in both print and digital projects as it is found in the Google Web Fonts collection.

The slightly naive handwritten font Little Days was developed by the designers of West Wind Fonts. This font is not intended for serious use, it is too “childish”, but there will certainly be projects where this font can find application.

The Aquafina handwritten font created by Sudtipos studio looks very elegant and attractive. It is a little “prickly” and very dynamic; the designers decided to make it as dense as possible, reducing the distance between the main strokes. The font is stretched vertically, which allows you to fit more characters in a line. Aquafina is perfect for designing product packaging, glossy magazines and book covers.

The Freebooter Script font was created by Canadian designer Graham Mead. This is a rather extravagant handwritten font with many interesting details. The strokes are moderately dense and smooth. If you need something truly unusual, then you can turn your attention to the Freebooter font.

This very interesting retro font was created by designer James Edmondson (he has another font on our list) while he was a student at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. The font is beautiful, balanced, and very legible. If you look closely at the capital letter S, you will notice a reference to the treble clef - not a bad idea from the designer. The font is free, but for personal use only. For use in commercial projects you will have to pay $30.

5th Grade Cursive is one of many handwritten fonts created by designer Lee Batchelor. This fancy font looks a little old-fashioned, but that's how it was intended. It has dense strokes and is great for typing large amounts of text.

Christopher Hand isn't the prettiest handwriting font, so its popularity came as a surprise to its creator, Al Stinger. Many people liked how the symbols looked jagged and slightly funny. The font can be used in various informal projects, it is funny and even a little brutal. Chrisopher Hand can be downloaded for free, commercial use must be discussed with the creator. Al Stinger never planned to make money from this font, so permission can be obtained in exchange for a printed T-shirt or a bottle of tequila.

That's all, thanks for your attention!

Why look for information on other sites if everything is collected here?

High school and university students often have to complete a large number of written exercises while doing homework. For example, our social studies teacher gives us an assignment every lesson, which requires us to find material in the library or the Internet and write it by hand (only for this we can get an “excellent” grade), even if the material found is correct, but printed on a computer, don’t expect anything higher than a B...

Based on all of the above, I came to the conclusion: I need to make a font for the computer that duplicates my handwriting. In my opinion, I did it successfully. My own mother would not be able to tell where I wrote by hand and where I typed it on the computer. Many of my friends liked this idea, and they began to ask me how I did it all. And so as not to explain it to everyone a hundred times, I decided to write this article - a plan for completing the work with detailed comments.

So in this article I will tell you how to make a font that imitates your handwriting.

For work we will need:
1) sheets of blank paper in A4 format;
2) black gel pen;
3) printer;
4) scanner;
5) High-Logic FontCreator program (I suggest downloading from the official website of the program).
To download, click on the provided link.

1 step

Take a landscape sheet of paper and write on it all the letters of the Russian alphabet (lowercase and uppercase), numbers from zero to nine and punctuation marks: period, comma, semicolon, colon, quotation marks, dashes, parentheses, etc. If anyone needs, you can add other symbols that will be useful to you when writing, such as @, №, $, #, ^, %, *, etc. Write beautifully, display each letter so that later all your work does not go down the drain.

Step 2

Scan the sheet with the letters written. And those people who managed to fit all the characters on one page will eventually receive one big picture.

Step 3

Then open the FontCreator program from the manufacturer High-Logic. Her window looks like this.

In the window that appears, you need to enter the name of your future font.

Click “OK” and the following appears. window.

In this window, open a picture with your letters. Select the letter “A”, copy it and return to FontCreator, open the cell with the letter “F” and paste your letter there. The red dotted lines can be moved, arrange them as shown in the following figure.

The letter must be on the Baseline and must NOT extend beyond the top horizontal line (WinAscent), and must NOT extend beyond the bottom horizontal line (WinDescent), otherwise it will be cut off. The vertical left line should be where the letter begins, and the vertical right line should be where the letter ends. If the letter extends beyond the vertical lines, then when printing there will be an overlap of one letter over another, this also does not suit us.

Now I’ll explain why we inserted the letter “A” into the cell with the letter “F”. This program is designed to create fonts using Latin letters. On the contrary, we need to make a font for Russian letters. Therefore, the RUSSIAN font we made will be on the LATIN layout. To make it more convenient, we will insert Russian letters into cells with Latin letters, in accordance with the keyboard.

Insert the letter “Y” into the cell with the letter “Q”
Insert the letter “C” into the cell with the letter “W”
Insert the letter “U” into the cell with the letter “E”
Insert the letter “K” into the cell with the letter “R”
Insert the letter “E” into the cell with the letter “T”
Insert the letter “H” into the cell with the letter “Y”

After you place all the letters in the cells, you will get a picture like this.

Now you can test the resulting font. This can be done by pressing the “F5” key, or by going to “Font - Test...”

If you are happy with everything, save the resulting font and place it in the “C:\WINDOWS\Fonts” folder. The font is installed, and now you can select it, for example, in Microsoft Word and print text with it. Below is the text printed in my font.
