Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift

During development, attention should be paid to a consistent and logical flow of writing, the analogy to the printed text, a light motor implementation and the avoidance of unnecessary decorative elements.

In Lateinische Ausgangsschrift (LAS), connecting the letters is considered to be easier in practice, but more difficult to learn because there are four different options.

VAS disrupts the flow of writing through “jerky” transitions, but enables textbook publishers to use a standardized typeface instead of costly handwritten sample texts.

The form of the lowercase "z" with sub-loop emphasizes that this script continues a centuries-old tradition in the lineage of Kurrentschrift and Fraktur.

In 1996, the pedagogue Wilhelm Topsch discovered that, for the 1970s introduction of the Vereinfachte Ausgangsschrift, there was no expert's consultancy for it except of its inventor, Heinrich Grünewald.
