New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I am typesetting a thesis with Berthold Walbaum for the main text (and AkzidenzGrotesk for the titles). I need to add some greek and hebrew words in it. For the greek font, I noticed the output was not very good until I switched to some didone greek font (GFS-bodoni). Now I want to do the same thing with some hebrew words. I am aware that I can't really expect some didone-hebrew font, but maybe some very "stable" hebrew font would have some better look that some other. Any hint?

There are high contrast Ashkenazic Hebrew types that were influenced by the Latin types of Didot and Bodoni, most famously the type of the Vilna Talmud.
