Fb Tubic Con
FontBit · Nadav Ezra · 2022
A condensed Hebrew sans-serif in five weights that blends circular and square forms to push the boundaries of a script tradition that only began developing sans letterforms in the late 1950s.
About
Hebrew sans-serif type is a relatively young genre, with its earliest versions appearing as subtitle faces in the late 1950s before consolidating into familiar forms such as Narkis Tam and Oron. Fb Tubic Con takes the condensed Hebrew sans in a new direction, pairing rounded and squared elements and extending sans-serif logic to letterforms not typically treated this way. Five weights from Thin to Black offer range across both display and text applications.
Classification
A condensed Hebrew sans-serif combining circular and square forms, explicitly pushing sans-serif conventions to their limits within the Hebrew script tradition. The design sits within the geometric sans category given its deliberate interplay of rounded and rectilinear letterform elements.
