A text-optimised cut of Avraham Cornfeld's revival of a Jugendstil-influenced Hebrew typeface, originally catalogued as 'Sefardi' by the Bezalel school and reinterpreted from vintage Mugrabi Cinema posters.
About
Mugrabi Text pairs with its display counterpart to form a bilingual family covering Hebrew and Latin scripts. The design preserves the original's striking interplay between heavy vertical strokes and fine horizontals, a hallmark of Jugendstil printing in European Jewish typography. Version 3.0 introduces an original Latin companion that maintains formal consistency with the Hebrew across four weights.
Classification
A revival of a classic Hebrew typeface rooted in Jugendstil letterform conventions, characterised by a distinctive tension between strong verticals and delicate horizontals. The accompanying Latin companion follows the same Art Nouveau-influenced formal principles.
