Michal Sahar
Visual Communication
"Early on, I realized that typography is an indispensable tool through which I can formulate a personal, communicative, and value-added voice. In 2001, I co-founded the type foundry 'Hagilda' with the aspiration to enhance the quality of contemporary Hebrew typography and enrich the inventory of Hebrew and bilingual typefaces. My growth in that field was through hands-on exploration and research, an evolution of acquiring theoretical and cultural fundamentals, as well as gaining professional skills."
