Mekorot

A Hebrew typeface in the Rashi style. Originally this project was part of an attempt to create a free version of the Hebrew Talmud, as PDF files, while keeping the page layout known as Tzurat Hadaf.

This project has been adapted from a previous SourceForge archive, based on the original work by Dr. Alan Hoenig.

In 2023 this project was reengineered and redrawn by Eli Heuer for inclusion in the Google Fonts catalog. The Latin typeface included is a fork of Spectral.

Building

Fonts are built automatically by GitHub Actions - take a look in the "Actions" tab for the latest build.

If you want to build fonts manually on your own computer:

  • make build will produce font files.
  • make test will run FontBakery's quality assurance tests.
  • make proof will generate HTML proof files.

The proof files and QA tests are also available automatically via GitHub Actions.
