218 At One

This alphabet is made by using the pen strokes of Hebrew calligraphy to write the letters forms of the Roman Alphabet.  I've named it At One in honor of the day when Jews atone for their sins and celebrate God's forgiveness.  

This comes from my book Learn World Calligraphy, which includes three other Hebrew-flavored alphabets and a wealth of decorative motifs.

209 Rosh Hahanah

This alphabet comes from my book Calligraphy Alphabets Made Easy.  You can find four other Hebrew-themed alphabets there, plus three more in the Hebrew chapter of  Learn World Calligraphy.  These are not quite in alphabetical order throughout, in an effort to help you classify them into letter families.  

September is the season of Jewish New Year.  These letters, Sabra, are a blend of Roman alphabet forms with Hebrew pen strokes.   You may take some time to get used to the extreme pen angle and the backward letter slant. 

Virtual Russian

Here's a recent Wall Street Journal hybrid headline,
which replaces the letters E and U with look-alikes
from the Cyrillic alphabet.

I've been interested to find so many "Virtual" alphabets in the years I've been paying attention to this kind of letter.   Anytime you mix alphabets, you can turn readable Roman into an exotic cross-breed.  It's subtle but eye-catching.  I've included a lot more examples of hybrid writing in my new book Learn World Calligraphy.
