I’m looking for a Hebrew typeface to compliment Trajan Pro. I’ve found several typefaces which include Hebrew letters in their glyphs and have research a few classic typefaces to see if they offer Hebrew letters. Can anyone recommend a classic Hebrew typeface and where to buy it? Thank you.

From Typophiler David Hamuel.

Masterfont, the biggest Israeli distributer, also available through Myfonts.

Fontbit is another foundry recommended by an Israeli compositor here.

There are also individual designers...

Matching Hebrew and latin script is always a problem because of the reverse weighting: Latin has as a rule thick verticals, thin horizontals. Hebrew is the reverse.

So your design will be as important as choice of typeface.
