Haim Reloaded

"Haim"is a Hebrew face designed in Warsaw by Jan Le Wit in 1929, influenced by the new sans-serif designs of the "Bauhaus"ascola. It is of important stature in the history of Hebrew type evolution, because it introduced the letter's primary strokes not as blueprints of a typeface, but as an independent typeface of its own. Its classic silhoutte made it possible for this letterface to survive to this very day, where it's used primarily in newspaper headlines.
My two versions of "Haim"are a combination of this letter's simple principles and the methodic system that is used to create contemporary fonts, by the use of computers. Most work has been focused on dismemberment of original letters to geometric skeletons that stayed true to the original letterform. Later these skeletons has been "upholstered"and made into these two styles - one with sharp corners, like the original typeface, and the other is rounder.
