of Abcd Ref Dashed Arrows Numbers.
Abcd Ref Dashed Arrows Numbers is a dashed block-print tracing font in which every stroke is drawn as a broken outline, with circled arrows at the start of each stroke showing direction and order. The dashed skeleton and the arrows are instructional, so the face is meant to be printed large enough for a pencil to follow. It needs roughly 40 mm for the dashes and the arrows to stay distinct, and it is best in one light grey outline on white so a child's pencil reads over it.

Number-tracing worksheet, desk strip and wall chart
A dashed tracing face turns a worksheet into something a child can follow without a dotted third-party template, which is what an early-years classroom needs. The circled arrows show stroke order at 60 mm, and one light grey print keeps the letters behind the pencil instead of competing with it.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Worksheet A4, digit 60 mm with 8 mm arrow clearance, three rows, 15 mm margins. Desk strip 300 x 60 mm, digits 24 mm, 5 mm margins. Wall chart A2, digits 120 mm, 25 mm margins.
Pre-production check
Printed at 24 mm on the desk strip the dashed outline closes into a solid hairline and the arrows vanish into the digit. Keep the strip at 30 mm or print it lighter, and check one laminated strip under a pencil before the class set.
Party-game sheet, name-tag tracing card and loot-bag label
A dashed tracing face makes a party activity rather than a printed game, which is what a young child's birthday table wants between cake and presents. The arrows keep the game self-explanatory for a five-year-old, and one grey ink prints the sheet and the tags on plain copier stock for a home printer.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Game sheet A4, digits 50 mm with 6 mm arrow clearance, six digits per sheet. Name card 105 x 75 mm, name 20 mm, 5 mm margins. Loot-bag label 90 x 40 mm, word 12 mm, 4 mm margins.
Pre-production check
A home inkjet lays the light grey dashes so thin that the outline greys out entirely on plain paper. Print at 50 mm minimum or use a slightly darker tone, and test one sheet on the family printer before the party.
Spring open-day sign, garden-club label and seed packet
A dashed block print reads as a hand-made notice rather than a printed banner, which is what a school garden club wants for its spring open day. The arrows make the sign look like a teaching aid at 80 mm, and one green outline prints the sign, the plant labels and the seed packets on cheap card.
Hierarchy & layout recipe
Open-day sign 600 x 400 mm, word 80 mm with 10 mm arrow clearance, 25 mm margins. Plant label 20 x 120 mm, word 14 mm, 4 mm margins. Seed packet 90 x 120 mm, word 16 mm, 5 mm margins.
Pre-production check
On a 20 mm wooden plant label the dashed stroke runs out of room and the arrow falls off the edge. Use the solid companion on labels and keep tracing to paper, and make one label before the batch.
