Rosemary Sassoon - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

British typographer and expert in children's handwriting (born 1931)

Rosemary Sassoon (born 1931 in the United Kingdom and currently residing in Busselton, Western Australia) is an expert in handwriting, particularly that of children. She designed the Sassoon series of typefaces, produced in collaboration with Adrian Williams, which are intended to be particularly legible for children and learners.^[1][2]

In 1988 she earned a PhD from the Department of Typography and Graphic Communication at the University of Reading in Berkshire, England.^[3] Sassoon's personal papers are held in the archives of University of London's Institute of Education.^[3]

Over her career she wrote a number of books on handwriting, and in particular on children's growth and development, and developed an approach to pedagogy in the field that was 'considered as one of the best in the United Kingdom'.^[4]
