Fb Mikteret
FontBit · Nadav Ezra · 2022
A bilingual Hebrew–Latin display slab serif from 2022, designed to stretch Hebrew letterforms to their widest legible limit using classical curves to avoid rigid squareness.
About
Fb Mikteret is a multi-weight slab serif family with an extreme, wide character, built around the question of how far a Hebrew letter can be stretched before legibility breaks down. Classical Hebrew stroke curves are retained and reinterpreted to give the wide forms fluidity rather than rigidity. The family includes six weights, among them a decorative Stripes cut suited to logo work.
Classification
Described explicitly as a slab serif display typeface with extreme stroke contrast and a grotesque character, designed to push Hebrew letterforms to their widest readable extent while retaining classical Hebrew structural curves.
