Fonts: Designing for Hebrew?

Apparently, there's a get-together for "crits" being organized if you're working on a font expecting to work with the language.

If you know someone who's interested, feel free to pass it along.

TREK: Missed Merch Chances - Languages

2019-09-14T00:30:11Z

Star Trek: Deep Space Nine missed four merchandising opportunities.
Consider Marc Okrand's Klingon Dictionary and its sequel-books. We had a chance to create similarly rich languages for the Bajorans, Cardassians, Trill, and Ferengi with this series. None of them were followed up, however much we delved into the lives and culture of characters of those species.

A Question for Marvel's Movie Designers

This is the writing system the people designing the look of the movie have matched to it:

Guessing that the MCU designers will need to have an expanded character set for the written to match up to what's spoken in dialogue?
