Aravrit: One Script, Two Languages

Aravrit: One Script, Two Languages

Aravrit is an experimental writing system presenting a set of hybrid letters merging Hebrew and Arabic. Each letter is composed of Arabic on the upper half and a Hebrew on the bottom half.

In Aravrit, one can read any chosen language, without ignoring the other one, which is always present.

Through letters and language, the daily tools that communication is built upon, Aravrit sends a powerful message that transmits to hopeful life in Israel, side by side. Aravrit is complicated to design and create. The process is long and thorough, aiming to have every word in each script very clear and legible. However, the result is simple. The viewer reads the words without any effort while feeling the ease of the possibility of a life together.
