What to Know
OFL is the usual Google Fonts licence (Heebo, Noto, Frank Ruhl Libre, David Libre, Alef, Gveret Levin, Cardo). That is the simplest path for a public website.
Ploni and Libertinus Serif are OFL but not on Google Fonts, so self-host them. Ezra SIL is OFL from SIL for biblical text.
SBL Hebrew is free to use under the SBL font licence, which is not OFL and restricts selling the font itself. Arimo, Tinos, and Cousine are Apache 2.0.
Culmus (Simple CLM, Hadasim CLM, Taamey Frank CLM, Stam Ashkenaz CLM) is historically GPL with a font exception, not OFL. Read that licence before you embed the files in an app.
“Free” is not the same as “on Google Fonts,” and it is not permission to copy Almoni, Koren, Fedra, or Windows David.
Keep the licence file with the fonts when you self-host; OFL requires that you do not sell the font on its own as a new name.
Other Guides
Hebrew Fonts for Websites
Screen-first families that keep Hebrew readable at UI sizes and in mixed Hebrew–English layouts.
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.
