Inside First School

Syaf Rizal

Handwriting

Open Source

First School font is a handwriting typeface with casual comic letterforms capturing early education experiences. Each character displays beginning learner shapes with first-day character that suggests kindergarten excitement and early writing attempts. This casual comic style suits early education content, children's products, and designs celebrating educational beginnings. The first school reference emphasizes learning starts. For designers creating early education content, First School delivers appropriate beginning warmth. Complements primary palettes and educational supporting elements.

First School comes from the work of Syaf Rizal. The typeface reflects a focus on typographic detail, visible in its letterform construction and optical balance.

As a Handwriting typeface in the Vox-ATypI Scripts classification, First School features disconnected or loosely connected letterforms and irregular stroke weight from natural hand pressure. These optical characteristics make it well-suited for packaging for artisanal and handmade products.

First School is available in a single weight, offering focused typographic consistency for both digital and print applications, with 3 font pairings curated. Standard Latin character coverage serves the majority of Western typographic workflows.
