Author's note

Kiwi School Handwriting with Guides by Rob Ashcroft is a free school handwriting font that turns letter formation into a visible teaching aid. Its loose, narrow forms include numbered strokes and directional arrows.

Handwriting worksheets are its clearest use, with the guides helping pupils follow the order and movement of each letter. Classroom posters, exercise books, and digital learning activities can use the same marks to make practice feel direct and approachable. On educational packaging and children's stationery, the lettering can become part of a friendly learning brand rather than ordinary labeling.

--

Based on the style described in the New Zealand Ministry of Education's Teaching Handwriting manual, with basic guides showing the direction of movement.
