If you only need English letters, the font is less than 100kB.
(OTF fonts are more likely to have larger character sets, TTF might just have basic European glyphs. But some OTFs are given the .ttf suffix so you need to inspect the font.)

If such a basic version is not available, you can make one with a font editor.
The subsetting tools should cut the unused glyphs, though I've found them to reduce size by much less than they should; e.g. still several MB font that I only used 4 Chinese glyphs in.

But for script/handwriting, I normally use italic -- that's what it's based on anyway. Upright "Roman" letters are based on carved ones.
