About
Designed by Avraham Cornfeld and released in 2020, Kedem Serif takes its cues from Hebrew propaganda posters of Israel's founding era, translating their wide letterforms, unconventional angles and distinctive internal spaces into a contemporary typeface. Contrast between serif and stem accumulates as the weight increases, making each cut feel like a distinct graphic register. The family supports Hebrew with full nikud, alongside Latin and Cyrillic scripts covering over 229 languages.
Classification
