Hello!

I tried my hands to design Hebrew letters using similarly-looking
Latin/Roman ones in the font *Souvenir*, a playful retro round serif
typeface.  Souvenir's somewhat bending strokes lend nicely to create
characters for Latin-Roman/Greek/Cyrillic, but present quite a challenge
when designing characters for Hebrew/Arabic/Syro-Aramaic/Devanagari... .

How would you employ softer, more rounded strokes to construct the 22
Hebrew letters with the 5 *sofith* (final forms for
kaf/mem/nun/peʾ/ṣadheh), so that they would harmonize well into the
*Souvenir* font family?!?!

Designing the vowel points and cantillation signs would be much easier.

Shalom!  Thank You!
