Faggot
Display Typeface & Book Design״Faggot״ is the first Spoken Word book published in Hebrew.
It showcases the critical, sharp poems by performance artist Yossi Zabari.
My design was inspired by vintage Israeli poetry books, using classic elements
with a modern approach to echo the book’s content and author.
The custom display typeface was created for the cover and the poems’ titles’ dividers.
It is based on an old Hebrew typeface (Meruba) combined with a new interpretation
to deliver an original, unique, daring message, like Zabari’s work.
