Author's note
Kiwi School Handwriting with Stroke Guides font by Rob Ashcroft is a free school script typeface that takes the guesswork out of teaching neat handwriting. Its light, slightly textured strokes and built‑in directional guides mimic a careful teacher’s model on the whiteboard, giving learners a consistent pattern to trace and copy. Letters are open, evenly spaced, and calm on the page, so lines of text stay readable even when printed small on worksheets.
Using Kiwi School Handwriting with Stroke Guides font, you can create handwriting practice sheets, classroom posters, exercise books, flashcards, educational apps, and parent take‑home resources that all share the same clear style. This free font shines when set large for demo lines and smaller beneath for tracing, so kids see both the destination and the path. For supporting text like instructions or titles, pair it with a simple sans serif to keep materials clean and uncluttered.
