if anybody knows who's the designer of a specific typeface?

(The typeface in question is Calibri Hebrew, btw. I can't find the answer on the web.)

You could start by asking @Lucas de Groot if he had anything to do with it as he designed the Latin.

Lucas designed it

Erwin Denissen · November 2016

According to the font properties of Calibri, the font is designed by Luc(as), and the Hebrew OpenType layout logic is developed by Ralph Hancock and John Hudson.

The layout logic for Biblical Hebrew (not the outlines) is open source software under the MIT License.

Where can I get that (layout logic)?

Erwin Denissen · November 2016

It is of course embedded in the font, so a font editor like FontCreator can provide access to it. If you don't have a font editor, then I'm sure John Hudson can help you further.

Thank you all!

Thanks! I have a font editor, but I don't have the (Calibri) font, so this was useful. I didn't realise Ezra used the same logic.
