Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi Does anybody know where I can download the font 'Sassoon' for free? or has anyone used a different font for their 'writing' area? I am trying to make some alphabet charts, with letters which are easily recognisable (you know what I mean - no funny 'a' like the one I've just typed etc. ) Thought I'd found a good free font called 'national primary' - but the letter 'o' has got a funny squiggly bit on the top. Any help - much appreciated Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Hi Myhenroxanne. I have searched the internet looking for free downloads of this font, but it seems everywhere charges for it. There was a thread a little while back though that was talking about the same thing. You might find it useful to have a look. Click here!

Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Thanks a million for the links Clare! Saved me loads of time. Have just sent an email to Sassoon website, as I think I might be able to purchase it using my eLc's. Fingers crossed - (if not back to the drwing board!!)

AnonyMouse_2760 Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 I ended up paying 22 pounds for it in the end as I was getting frustrated spending ages searching for it for free and I decided it was worth it in terms of time spent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 At school we don' t have Primary Sassoon so teachers use a range of fonts especially in KS2. The only problem with comic sans for display as I see it is the "t"- some children see that struggle with the 't' and just produce it as the stick t (no curved bottom, if that makes sense). I bought Primary sasson from an American site (therefore not sure of cost as I'm rubbish at currency conversion) I tend to use primary sasson for most of my displays, but do make sure that children see a range of fonts and handwritten labels produced with the children.

Guest Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 Purchasing Sasoon is well worth it, I have saved hours when making laminated name cards for use with whiteboard marker pens, using the Primary Infant Tracker and the Primary Infant Dotted.

Guest Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I like National Primary too. I used a 'tool' the name of which escapes me at the moment but basically you can edit your fonts. I think it began with an f which is no help I know! You got a 30 day free trial download. I got rid of the squiggly o that way.. China cat is nice too. That you can get free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
