"Aravrit is a project of utopian nature. It presents a set of hybrid letters merging Hebrew and Arabic.
This new writing system is composed of an Arabic letter on the upper half and a Hebrew letter on the bottom half. The characteristic features of each letter were retained, however in both languages the fusion required some compromises to be made, yet maintaining readability and with limited detriment to the original script. In Aravrit, one can read the language he/she chooses, without ignoring the other one, which is always present."

So Netflix had ditched Gotham and replaced with a proprietary font, Netlix Sans.
Here's the hot-take: "saves the company millions of dollars a year as foundries move towards impression-based licensing for their typefaces"
How much are your clients' spending on font licensing for their digital products? How much is this considered in your workflow?
- millions. I had no idea the fees could get that high.Gnash
- Another generic Swiss style font, meh. But if it saves them money, +1.Maaku
- the red and white color choice augments that Swiss Style feelinguan

- make sense for big brands to make their own font. But it looks so similar to other san serifs, are we going to see lawsuits?shapesalad
