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.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
