Ot.Hayim Fonts at design

ortal yehuda

Graphic designer and font creator. I combine work as both an employee and a freelancer.

I live in the Gilo neighborhood of Jerusalem, originally from Kiryat Malachi. Married to Matityahu and mother to my sweet daughters, Alma and Shahar.

When I first learned about the project, I knew immediately that I wanted to volunteer and take part in this important and moving initiative.

After October 7th, I felt a general sense of paralysis—I didn’t know where I could contribute or where I was needed, and I couldn’t think clearly. Through this project, I realized what I could do.

The process of working on each font revealed to me glimpses of the extraordinary and cherished souls we’ve lost. I feel an immense privilege to learn from them through their handwriting and materials and to memorialize them in this unique way.

Every person whose handwriting I have the honor of working with becomes deeply embedded in my heart and stays with me.

Thank you to the amazing project team and the dear families who trust us with this delicate task of commemorating their loved ones.
