A narrow bilingual Hebrew and Latin display typeface rooted in the old entrance sign of the Israeli village of Mikhmoret, with further inspiration drawn from the Aharoni typeface and 1940s wooden type blocks.
About
Designed by Avraham Cornfeld and released in 2017, Mikhmoret combines a stable square geometry with a surprising nuance of form that gives it a distinctive character among contemporary Hebrew typefaces. The Latin component consists of capitals only, making it best suited to headlines and short, punchy text. Its narrow, assertive proportions pair naturally with condensed Latin typefaces such as Franklin Gothic Condensed and DIN.
Classification
A narrow, assertive bilingual Hebrew and Latin display typeface with a stable square structure, drawing from classical Hebrew wood type and sign lettering traditions. Its Latin component is capitals-only, positioning it firmly as a display face rather than a text typeface.
