- I would bet the house this was done in a 3d package. And it would be much faster and easier to do it that way than any other, including by hand.CyBrainX

"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."

this is the choice of fonts from https://fontjoy.com/ a site to find matching font pairings.does anyone know a resource that let's me compare any letters in this way?
I'm looking for an inspiring S shape to base a logo on it and such a grid presentation would do wonders.

The New Typography
1928This book is excellent, particularly keeping in mind the history of the times and the author / his subsequent remarks *against* the New Typography. (So don't ignore the Preface.) Unfortunately there are some noticeable mistakes in the book; uncorrected page references, even an entire paragraph duplicated.
