Create AccountOver half a century ago, master typographer Eliyahu Koren produced the Koren Tanakh, the first Jewish Bible edited, designed, produced and bound by Jews in nearly 500 years. Mr. Koren considered the precision of every letter, the placement of every word on every page. He created a new font to ensure maximum clarity and to reflect the renewal of ancient Hebrew in modern times. The Tanakh's textual accuracy, pioneering design and superior quality won it worldwide acclaim. Under Mr. Koren's leadership, Koren Publishers Jerusalem went on to produce other exceptional editions of traditional Jewish texts. The Koren Siddur, published in 1981, featured a newly designed font and an insightful graphic layout that, in Mr. Koren's words, "encouraged the worshiper to engross the mind and heart in prayer." Like so many Koren titles, it became a classic.

ABOUT KOREN FONTS
Koren books use two fonts created by Koren Publishers Jerusalem founder, Eliyahu Koren: Koren Tanakh Font and Koren Siddur Font. Koren Tanakh Font, created for the purpose of printing The Koren Tanakh in 1962, is used for Koren biblical texts. Koren Siddur Font, created for The Koren Siddur in 1981, is used for other texts. Mr. Koren studied and re-studied Hebrew manuscripts and early printing types, consulted with ophthalmologists, and took a sensitive approach to modernization, to create fonts of ultimate legibility and beauty.
