The font family SHUNEET

The font family Shuneet currently consists of seven fonts which share a basic style. They also have the same height and so can be used interchangably.

Shuneet Light
This is the latest addition to the font family. Elegant and light.

Shuneet and Shuneet Bold.
Looks good in documents as diverse as a Ketuba and an Art Gallery Prospectus.

Shuneet Oblique and Shuneet Oblique Bold.
This exotic font has calligraphic elements and is an excellent way to print poetry or a biblical inscription or even travel advertisements.

Shuneet Square and Shuneet Square Bold.
This font is a workhorse! Use it for email and your browser. It is very readable at small sizes.

Technical Specification.

Unicode and OpenType work on Windows, Macintosh and Unix. May be used in any up-to-date wordprocessor, spreadsheet, email or browser software and most effectively in the Adobe design suite.

These fonts are designed to work together and all have the same vertical metrics so they can be mixed on a page. Each font has the same set of 247 characters:

• Hebrew letters and nikud (Hebrew vowels).
• Single characters that combine letters, dagesh and nikud.
• Hebrew for Yiddish and Judeo-Spanish.
• Hebrew punctuation.
• Latin letters and punctuation (for English etc)
• Useful symbols such as currency, arithmetic, various brackets, copyright, etc

I designed this font using the Font Creator Program Version 6 from High Logic for the shape of the glyphs.
The font editing too Microsoft VOLT was used for the layout of characters.
