Robert Palladino (November 5, 1932 – February 26, 2016) was an American Trappist monk, calligrapher, and academic.[1][2] He was a professor at Reed College in Portland, Oregon, where he taught Steve Jobs, and replaced Lloyd J. Reynolds as the head of the calligraphy program. Jobs credits Palladino's class with inspiring him to include multiple fonts on the original Mac.[3] Despite his influence on Jobs, Palladino never owned a computer.[3]
Although calligraphy is no longer taught at Reed, a brief course is typically taught during Paideia, a special period in January during which electives are taught.
