Letter-join Air is a pre-cursive font. It automatically types with spaces between the characters so that individual letters can be easily traced.

Letter-join Plus is our standard font. It has the same look and feel as the font used throughout the Letter-join. It is fully cursive and uses your school’s preferred letterforms.

Letter-join school subscriptions include two fonts for use with Microsoft Word. They incorporate the very latest typographical features to produce the look and feel of true cursive handwriting.

Subscribers can download both Letter-join fonts for making handwriting worksheets, creating school signage and promotions, and for using in written communications.
