Noam Text specimen from TypeTogether

A dual-script Hebrew and Latin serif by Adi Stern, designed for bilingual text setting with the resilience of a newspaper face and a careful harmony between the two scripts.

About

Noam Text draws on Ashkenazi Hebrew scribal tradition, where quill writing produced high contrast between heavy horizontal strokes and fine verticals, and adapts this heritage for contemporary typography. The family pairs Hebrew and Latin in a single coherent design suited to newspapers, books and any category of bilingual text. OpenType features include oldstyle and tabular figures, stylistic sets, ligatures, superscript and subscript, supporting a wide range of editorial and publishing contexts.

Classification

A dual-script Hebrew and Latin serif designed for sustained text setting, drawing on traditional Hebrew manuscript forms while harmonising with Latin proportions. The design balances the high-contrast conventions of Ashkenazi scribal tradition with contemporary text legibility requirements.
