On Tel Aviv buses, the next stop appears on low-resolution LED displays in Hebrew, Arabic, and English. But something was off: Hebrew text used thick double-pixel strokes while Arabic used thin single-pixel strokes. Hebrew also appeared twice as often in the rotation.

Was this hierarchy a technical necessity—Arabic being too complex for thick strokes on pixel displays—or a design choice? To find out, I designed a bitmap font matching the exact pixel dimensions of these bus displays, testing both single and double-pixel strokes for all three scripts.

The result? Arabic works perfectly with double-pixel strokes. The visual hierarchy wasn't technical—it was a design decision. This project became a multi-script typeface proving that when given equal consideration, Hebrew, Arabic, Latin, and many other scripts can coexist with equal visual weight in public space.
