Identify the two supplied files and their terms
Vladimir Nikolic’s Pencil author listing supplies Pencil.ttf and PencilFilled.ttf. The maker offers personal use and links to a separate commercial resource. Keep the chosen filename with the artwork so the next editor can distinguish the regular and filled treatment. The listing’s name does not establish a classroom handwriting model or a font for tracing exercises.
Compare the filled treatment without changing the layout
Set the same complete heading in each supplied file. Keep the size, background and title area fixed while inspecting enclosed gaps and adjoining letters. Reduce the composition to its intended output size before choosing the more detailed treatment. Use ordinary readable text for dates or instructions rather than assuming the decorative title also serves every supporting line.
Choose a different resource when the task is handwriting
If you want informal drawn letters instead of this named resource, compare Cabin Sketch and Patrick Hand as separately credited designs. For a controlled copying exercise, use the KG Primary resource guide. The homepage’s handwritten-style copyable text substitutes Unicode characters; it does not install Pencil, carry its Filled drawing or turn a message into pencil strokes.
Your questions, answered.
Are Regular and Filled merely different text colors?
They are separately supplied font files. Compare the actual drawings before adding color in the layout application.
Is this automatically a handwriting-teaching font?
No. A decorative product name does not establish an instructional model or tracing behavior.
