"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."

the best typography training i've ever had was working close with an experienced art director who was either know for their type, or the firm was.
