About

Avraham Cornfeld's FrankRe takes one of the most culturally loaded Hebrew typefaces of the modern era and rebuilds it for contemporary print and digital use. Three weights each come in upright and Natui (italic) variants, with an extensive OpenType feature set covering standardised nikud, trope signs for biblical typesetting and a wide range of alternates. A matching Latin alphabet extends coverage to over 229 languages.

Classification

A Hebrew serif typeface rooted in Raphael Frank's FrankRuehl (1910), itself a transitional serif with classical stroke contrast and upright letterforms. The Latin companion follows the same transitional conventions, with matching weight and texture across both scripts.
