I've worked together with the fabulous Rachelle Smith of What the Teacher Wants to come up with a new kid-friendly, teacher-friendly font. Rachelle’s highly-popular teaching blog, What the Teacher Wants (http://whattheteacherwants.blogspot.com/) is a great resource for elementary teachers. She also sells educational products at Teachers Pay Teachers: http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Rachelle-Smith

This font is exactly “What the Teacher Wants”- it is neat, legible, friendly, and contains enough glyphs to cover 86 languages and little extras like math symbols!
