About Frank Ruhl Libre
Frank Ruhl Libre is an open-source revival of Frank Rühl, the classic Hebrew text typeface that Rafael Frank designed in 1908 with the C. F. Rühl foundry in Leipzig. For more than a century it has been the face of Hebrew books, newspapers and magazines.
It was made for long reading, with or without niqqud, and its calm letterforms keep long paragraphs even and comfortable.
Use it for books, articles, journals and anything literary in Hebrew. The variable version runs from Light to Black, so the heavy weights also make dignified headlines.
