Moshe Spitzer
Editor of an eight-paper collection of papers entitled A Letter is Forever: A Collection of Papers on the Design of the Hebrew Letter, Israel Ministry of Education and Culture, 1989 or 1990. His own article in this collection is The development of the square letter. Sivan Toledo calls this the definitive paper on the Hebrew letter: The paper surveys the development of Hebrew letters from the earliest known uses of the alphabet in the Second Temple Era to the 1960s. The paper displays numerous examples of Hebrew lettering from inscriptions, manuscripts, and printed works. Spitzer discusses and displays several modern Hebrew typefaces: Frank Ruehl, Chayim, Aharoni, Stam, Schocken, Gill, Koren, Hadassah, David, and Hatzvi. He also displays and describes partial typefaces cut by Harry Carter and by Frederic Goudy. |
