Hello all,
I need a regular font resembling how a human being writes in the real
world. Beginners learning the English language need such a font.
Children learning languages that use roman characters learn simple capital block letters
first. Then lower case. Then some rules about upper and lower case. Then handwriting such
as cursive (joined-up writing) is learned. Anything handwritten in the "real
world" will be both block and cursive, so they have to learn how to read both.
Critical to tolerating (typically craptastic) handwriting, is forming a kind of muscle
memory for whole word recognition. That way the non-recognition of one or sometimes more
characters will still permit the word to be recognized. The reason why serif fonts are
used in printed material like papers, magazines and books, is that the fancy add-ons like
collars, loops, crossbars, proper ascenders/descenders is it makes whole word recognition
easier and efficient.
My requirement is in this video:

Well the main thing you seem to want is a sans-serif font without loops on the characters
that traditionally use them. Some typefaces that might meat the requirement are Chalkboard
and Futura. Another way to do this is write out some key words by hand the way you want
them to look and use one of the online typeface recognizers to tell you what the closest
typeface is.
