Hebrew

Amefist font

For the past few years, I’ve been working on a Hebrew font based on my handwriting. Partly this is because my handwritten Hebrew is 100% straight lines, but also because I have not had a lot of luck finding a Hebrew font that is actually legible for me at reasonable font sizes. Nikudimot are a particular problem, but unfortunately not one I can resolve. Amefist is the result of that work.

The following is the Hebrew alef-bet:

אבגדהוזחטיכךלמםנןסעפףצץקרשת

And, to demonstrate nikudimot, modet ani:

מוֹדֶת אַנִי לְפָנֶיךָ
רוּחַ חַי וְקַיָּם
שֶׁהֶחֱזַרְתָּ בִּי נִשְׁמָתִי מְּחֶמְלָה
רַבָּה אֱמוּנָתֶךָ

Features

Amefist supports Hebrew and Yiddish, with full nikudimot support. It does not include trop (cantillation marks); however, if someone wants to implement it, please contact us.
