What to know
Load a family that actually contains Hebrew glyphs. A Latin-only file will silently fall back to the browser default and the two scripts will not match.
Heebo, Assistant, IBM Plex Sans Hebrew, and Miriam Libre are built for UI weights and mixed-direction copy. Almoni is the common Israeli commercial equivalent if you can licence it.
Test bold, medium, and the smallest mobile size. Many Hebrew files have no true italic: browsers will fake a slant that collides with nikud.
Pair the Hebrew face with its intended Latin companion (Plex with Plex, Noto with Noto, Heebo with Roboto) so weight and x-height agree.
Keep display faces (Karantina, Secular One, Suez One, Handjet) on headlines only. They fail in forms, tables, and body articles.
Self-host or use Google Fonts according to the licence. System fonts such as David, Miriam, and Arial Hebrew are not a webfont licence.
Other guides
Hebrew for tattoos
Tattoo lettering is permanent, so the brief is correct spelling, final letters, and a shape that still reads as Hebrew on skin.
Handwriting and informal Hebrew
Faces that mimic pen, marker, or school cursive, for notes, kids’ material, invitations, and practice sheets.
Hebrew for religious texts
Square, Rashi, and biblical faces for Tanakh, commentary, and liturgical pages, not for app chrome.
Hebrew on Google Fonts
Families in the Google Fonts catalogue that declare a Hebrew subset, so you can link them without a foundry contract.
