        Historique

        Rosemary Sassoon (b 1931) specialises in the educational and medical aspects of handwriting. In 1988 she completed a PhD from the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading on 'Joins in children's handwriting, and the effects of different models and teaching methods'. She spent two years researching and designing a typeface that used letterforms which children found easy to read. The subsequent design is the Sassoon Primary typeface. Since 1987 Sassoon has, in partnership with Adrian Williams, developed a range of font products for reading and handwriting education in schools. These typefaces are now used worldwide for both the teaching and reading of handwriting. Publications: 'Computers and Typography' (Contributing Editor); 'The Art and Science of Handwriting'; 'The Acquisition of a Second Writing System'; 'Signs, Symbols and Icons' (written in conjunction with Albertine Gaur); 'Handwriting of the Twentieth Century'; 'The Designer'.
