Twinkl have two fonts available to download. Perfect for use in your classrooms and included with all Twinkl memberships.
Twinkl School Font
Designed with teachers and industry experts, it is a clear and easy-to-read font aimed at children and young adults. You can download it here.
Twinkl Handwriting Font
Our Twinkl Handwriting Font is aligned with the national curriculum guidelines to aid the development of handwriting for children of all age groups. You can find it here.
To download the Twinkl Font, follow these steps:
1) Extract the files you have downloaded.
Click on the "Download" button, save the zip somewhere on your hard drive, go to the place where it is saved, double-click on the zip to open it, then either click on "Extract all files" or drag and drop the files elsewhere from the zip window (hold down the CTRL key to select several files at once)
Modern operating systems come with their own built-in Zip extraction tool, so you won't need to install any additional software for this.
2) Install the font.
-
Under Windows 10/8/7/Vista
Select the font files (.ttf, .otf or .fon) then Right-click > Install
-
Under older versions of Windows
Place the font files (.ttf, .otf or .fon) into the Fonts folder, usually C:\Windows\Fonts or C:\WINNT\Fonts (can be reached as well by the Start Menu > Control Panel > Appearance and Themes > Fonts).
Tip for Windows XP/Vista: if you occasionally need a font, you don't need to install it. Just double-click on the .ttf file, and while the preview window is opened you can use it in most of the programs you'll launch (apart from a few exceptions like OpenOffice).
We also have a detailed PowerPoint to support with our Twinkl fonts.
How do I install a Twinkl font in Mac OS?
Mac OS X recognises TrueType and OpenType fonts (.ttf and .otf) but not the PC bitmap fonts (.fon).
1) Extract the files you have downloaded.
Click on the "Download" button, save the zip somewhere on your hard drive, go to the place where it is saved, double-click on the zip to open it, then either click on "Extract all files" or drag and drop the files elsewhere from the zip window (hold down the CTRL key to select several files at once)
Files are compressed, you may need a utility like Stuffit Expander.
2) Install the font.
-
Under Mac OS X 10.3 or above
Double-click the font file > "Install font" button at the bottom of the preview.
-
Under any version of Mac OS X
Put the files into /Library/Fonts (for all users), or into /Users/Your_username/Library/Fonts (for you only).
Does Twinkl Offer a package/"MSI" for Network Installation?
