What to know
Decide the genre first: square text (Frank-Rühl, Koren, Noto Serif Hebrew), Rashi commentary, Stam for scroll-like pages, or Vilna for Gemara colour.
Ezra SIL and SBL Hebrew are built for nikud and cantillation. Noto Serif Hebrew and Taamey Frank CLM are the practical open options when you need marks on the web.
Koren is a licensed Bible face with a specific page tradition. Stam is a scribal hand; Culmus Stam Ashkenaz is only a digital approximation.
Set commentary in Rashi (Noto Rashi Hebrew) beside a square body, the way printed Mikraot Gedolot and Gemara editions do.
Do not use Secular One, Karantina, or handwriting families for siddur or Tanakh body text.
Check licence: Koren and foundry Stam are commercial; SBL has its own terms; Culmus is not OFL.
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 on Google Fonts
Families in the Google Fonts catalogue that declare a Hebrew subset, so you can link them without a foundry contract.
