Finnish handwriting schoolbook

Jennylein

Hello, I've been trying to find scans of or online sources for how the script handwriting was taught in Finnish schools at some point during the last 50 years or so...

I'm not based in Finland so if anyone from there could help me out with where I could find this, I'd be very greatful...

Or something looking similar too the rounded bottom one of these possibly?

Thanks!

The first thing that came to my mind is this free font by Mac Rhino: Montessori Script but it is not a "cursive" in that the letters are not connected.

finish? or Finnish?

Some examples of Finnish school cursive in this thread:

And here's one model at the page 48:

I guess the sample I posted is more of a personal handwriting that someone made just for that label.

Still very nice to have those references so thank you all for great links.
