Sassoon Infant was designed by Rosemary Sassoon, Adrian Williams and published by Sassoon-Williams. Sassoon Infant contains 10 styles and family package options.  

An upright typeface family developed to meet the demand for letters to produce pupil material for handwriting as well as for reading. 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.

When starting point and stroke direction has been learned, the arrow font (Tracker B) can be dropped and the simpler Tracker font used.

Tracker B font, with its direction arrows helps pupils to start in the correct place. Motor movements can be refined by keeping inside the line. When starting and direction is no problem, the arrow can be dropped and the plain Tracker font used.

When starting point and stroke direction have been learned, the arrow font (Dotted B) can be dropped and the simpler Dotted font used.
