According to MasterFont, a font library based in Israel, there are over 800 different Hebrew fonts available today. Commonly used fonts like Times New Roman, Courier New, Arial, and Helvetica already have Hebrew characters. Originally, Hebrew texts consisted of palaeo-Hebrew characters, which were based on the Phoenician alphabet. Meanwhile, the Hebrew alphabet has 22 consonants that have the same figures for both uppercase and lowercase letters. When reading Hebrew, you read the text from right to left just like the Arabic texts. Moreover, there are four Hebrew consonants that can be used to sound like vowels and five letters that change forms when placed at the end of words. And on that note, here are some of the popular Hebrew fonts used in creating website content.
