Summary

Description
English: The Paleo-Hebrew alphabet (abjad) is based on the JPG project by Yclorfene, which is available here:

File:Paleo-hebrew_alphabet.jpg

The original design is a constructivist idealization of the Paleo-Hebrew abjad.

I used this project to design the Paleo-Hebrew abjad using Inkscape 0.92. Since the Phoenician and Paleo-Hebrew alphabets were practically the same, I also designed Phoenician numerals.

I tried to standardize the shape and height of the characters and base them on the baseline. According to the constructivist approach, all characters are made of rectangles, circles, and ellipses.

Then I used designed glyphs to create the Paleo-Hebrew Abjad font using FontForge 20190801. This font allows you to write Paleo-Hebrew and Phoenician.

The Paleo-Hebrew Abjad font is available here:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/paleo-hebrew-abjad/

(The current version of the font is 1.1.0.)

Finally, I used Inkscape 0.92 to prepare an SVG presentation of the Paleo-Hebrew abjad.

The presentation contains 22 Paleo-Hebrew letters, period, geresh, and gershayim. The glyphs are written in alphabetical order from top to bottom and right to left.
