From: Robert Lloyd Wheelock <[email protected]> Subject: RE: Drawing Souvenir-style letters for Hebrew script Hello! I tried my hands to design Hebrew letters using similarly-looking Latin/Roman ones in the font *Souvenir*, a playful retro round serif typeface. Souvenir's somewhat bending strokes lend nicely to create characters for Latin-Roman/Greek/Cyrillic, but present quite a challenge when designing characters for Hebrew/Arabic/Syro-Aramaic/Devanagari... . How would you employ softer, more rounded strokes to construct the 22 Hebrew letters with the 5 *sofith* (final forms for kaf/mem/nun/peʾ/ṣadheh), so that they would harmonize well into the *Souvenir* font family?!?! Designing the vowel points and cantillation signs would be much easier. Shalom!
