Author's note

Tzipporah by AFS is a free Hebrew display font with broad, dramatic forms and sharply tapered strokes. Its letters alternate dense solid masses with deep open cuts. Long descending sweeps give the design a forceful, slightly theatrical profile.

Designers working with Hebrew-language cultural and arts audiences could use it for festival posters, book covers, and music packaging. The strong silhouettes suit projects built around expressive lettering rather than restrained typography. In publishing, it could give a literary magazine or translated-fiction cover a recognizable editorial voice.
