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: > > http://youtu.be/BnA8dkN0ROU 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.
