Didactica
A handwriting script family built around Tom Gourdie's penmanship principles, with specialised Direction, Ductus and Guidelines variants intended as teaching tools for early-years literacy.
About
The family spans six weights with matching italics and includes a variable font, making it flexible for general publishing use in books, packaging and children's magazines. The educational subfamilies add stroke-direction arrows, ductus overlays and ruled guidelines, giving teachers a ready-made handwriting instruction resource. Its friendly, open letterforms are designed to be immediately readable by young children learning to write.
Classification
A casual handwriting script designed to mimic natural penmanship suitable for children, inspired by Tom Gourdie's calligraphic pedagogy. The inclusion of Direction, Ductus and Guidelines variants confirms its classification as an educational script rather than a decorative or formal calligraphic face.
