S100: Sassoon® Primary Infant (3-font family)

An upright typeface developed to meet the demand from publishers for letters that can be used to produce pupil material for handwriting as well as for reading. Many alternative letters are included in each font. Upright letters with extended ascenders and descenders are ideal on screen. They facilitate word recognition. The exit strokes link words together visually, and in handwriting they lead to spontaneous joins along the baseline leading logically to a joined-up hand. Teachers can print desk strips, charts of letter families and alphabet friezes, as well as consistent material across the curriculum. Together these typefaces provide a valuable resource for special needs teachers.

Advice for use...

When start points are remembered, direction remembered

and motor movement is sufficiently refined, pupils are

ready to 'copy', rather than track over the letters.

Words can be set in the Infant font and a

baseline placed underneath for pupils to write what they see.

The Medium and Bold fonts can be used to emphasise pairs

of letters or make smaller text more legible.
