David: history and design context
David is a Hebrew typeface documented by Microsoft Typography. The entry credits Kivun Computers and Monotype in its copyright history and separately identifies Biblical Hebrew OpenType layout work by Ralph Hancock and John Hudson. The MIT notice attached to that layout logic is not a blanket license for all of the font software.
The official family entry provides the source account and the listed edition’s information. A broader family name may cover other releases; keep the exact version clear when comparing files or documenting a project.
What to look for in your layout
Try representative Hebrew words, punctuation and any marks required by the text, using a font-aware application with appropriate right-to-left layout. The listing includes David, David Bold and David Transparent; the local default-face preview does not expose every edition. Do not substitute an unrelated Latin font as a Hebrew coverage comparison.
Use representative wording: include names, punctuation, numbers and any script you need. A family name alone does not establish that a particular installed edition contains every required character or typographic feature.
Related comparisons and coverage
No substitute with matching script coverage or glyph mappings is asserted here. Use the official family information to investigate the exact characters and edition your workflow needs.
For broader context, read the related typography guide. When comparing other fonts, use the same sample and check shaping, punctuation and output size in your final application.
Preview, download sources and compatibility
The local preview asks the browser to load a named face already on your device. If that cannot happen, the preview is unavailable; it does not silently present an alternative as David. The control shows only the installed default face and does not expose every weight, optical design or OpenType feature.
Use the official family entry to investigate available editions, supplied products and acquisition routes. This site does not provide David font files or promise a free redistribution license. Copying ordinary text does not carry a font into another app. Read typeface versus font and font file types when preparing an editable handoff.
Your questions, answered.
Can I preview David here?
The local specimen can use a matching face installed on your device if the browser can load it. Otherwise it reports that the face is unavailable. Consult the official source for edition and character information.
Does this page provide a free David download?
No font files for this named family are supplied here. Follow the official family source to investigate the edition, availability and applicable terms.
Can I copy and paste David into another app?
Ordinary copied text does not preserve the typeface. Use an app with the appropriate font available, or export a visual preview when an image meets your needs.
