How to choose teachers & classroom fonts

Early readers: prefer single-storey a and g, open apertures, clear l/I/1 distinction.
Line metrics: consistent x-height and baseline; tracing fonts should match your ruled paper.
Spacing: add 2–5% tracking for beginner worksheets; avoid overly tight kerning.
Weight: regular to medium for print; tracing dashes should be visible but not heavy.
Language support: include accents (á, ñ, ü) and math symbols if you need them.
