Decorative Hebrew font

Joel C. Salomon

In another forum I’m asking for a replacement for this font, but I might as well know what it is I’ve seen….

I’ve attached a bit of a wedding invitation in Hebrew; can anyone tell me the font’s name—or identify similar fonts?

The Latin script is Shelley Allegro.

… And I thought I found it: Gonen from Davka, but Mike’s right; the Hebrew here:

--Joel

If you're happy with that good, but in my opinion that font is not the same, even thoughI don't know Hebrew. To me, calligraphy is calligraphy, and those letters don't look the same.

I think "calligraphy is calligraphy" does more harm than good in multi-script type design. That said, I certainly agree there's no harmony there. My point:
Ἁρμονίη ἀφανὴς φανερῆς κρείττων.
The hidden harmony is superior to the obvious one.
–Heraclitus
