Fb Mazlat
FontBit · Nadav Ezra · 2019
A four-weight Hebrew display typeface drawn from the unrestrained, bombastic lettering of ultra-Orthodox Pashkevil street posters, given a fresh internal logic by designer Nadav Ezra.
About
Released in 2019, Fb Mazlat takes its energy from the confrontational typography of Pashkevil notices, which warn Haredi communities against perceived transgressions. Rather than directly copying those letterforms, Ezra developed a new and updated alphabet that carries the same unapologetic atmosphere through its own formal logic. The family spans four weights, from Light to Black, covering Hebrew and Latin characters.
Classification
A bold, expressive Hebrew display typeface inspired by the bombastic lettering found on Pashkevil posters, with a strong internal logic and distinctive graphic presence distinct from conventional Hebrew type classifications.
