Playpen Sans Hebrew was designed by TypeTogether after over two years of primary research into handwriting education for Latin-based languages, available at primarium.info.
It is a variable font with a weight range from Thin (100) to ExtraBold (800). It supports two different writing systems: Hebrew and Latin, covering four Hebrew languages and over 332 Latin-based ones, along with a set of “reward icons” as emoji. The Playpen Sans superfamily also includes a Pan-African Latin, Greek, Cyrillic (Playpen Sans), Arabic (Playpen Sans Arabic), Devanagari (Playpen Sans Deva), and Thai (Playpen Sans Thai) fonts that expand the language support of the system.
Playpen Sans Hebrew has alternate glyphs for each character that are automatically applied as you type, with a built-in shuffler that both ensures variety and avoids repetition. This adds to the overall organic, spontaneous, and authentic feel of the handwritten style.

Playpen Sans Hebrew is a warm and inviting cursive script that seamlessly integrates into the Playpen Sans type family. Its lively, organic forms and irregular curves evoke the charm of natural handwriting, giving it a friendly and informal personality. Designed with versatility in mind, the font comes in eight carefully crafted weights, each optically balanced to ensure comfortable legibility across various applications. Whether used for headlines, short text paragraphs, or creative projects, Playpen Sans Hebrew maintains a visually harmonious relationship with the other scripts in the Playpen Sans family, making it a cohesive yet distinctive addition. Its approachable aesthetic and thoughtful design make it perfect for adding a touch of warmth and humanity to any typographic composition.
