David Specimen

Ismar David’s mid-century Israeli text serif, familiar from Windows as David and from decades of Israeli print. Use it for body copy that should look locally “standard,” and for small, readable lettering.

Avoid: The bundled Windows cut is not an open webfont; David Libre is the public revival.

CSS

Use the family name in a font stack with a same-genre fallback so unsupported browsers still land on a reasonable Hebrew face.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does David support nikud?

Partial nikud support. Basic points render, but complex stacked marks may not sit cleanly.

What licence does David use?
