Joy in the Knowledge: A Companion to Maimonides’ Guide of the Perplexed
Isaac Chavel presents companion essays for readers of Maimonides’ Guide of the Perplexed, placing its arguments alongside Maimonides’ rabbinic writings and the philosophy of his time. Topics include biblical interpretation, esotericism, ethics, divine attributes, creation, prophecy and the commandments. The essays broadly follow the Guide’s order and explore the ideas and biblical readings that shape it.
Typesetting: The English reading text is set in Arno. Spacious chapter openings lead into a single-column layout with inset quotations, occasional Hebrew terms and small-cap running heads. Numbered endnotes use a smaller setting with Hebrew passages and references, while the two-column index organises references to Maimonides’ writings.

Echoes of Rashi: Bereishit

Design philosophy
A seamlessly typeset book is always our goal for each project. Our philosophy is that a sophisticated book is like a road: it should be smooth and easy to navigate. The reader should enjoy the entirety of the story without distraction or visual speed bumps. Good typography should, ironically, be appreciated but not noticed.
Our work
We adapt fonts when a project requires it, from adding glyphs and programming ta’amim (biblical cantillation marks) to adding the marks needed to represent Arabic sounds in Hebrew-script texts. We also write scripts to solve specific typesetting problems.
Details such as text figures, ligatures, true small caps and optical margin alignment help make a page balanced and comfortable to read. We guide established publishers and first-time authors through the typesetting process, from manuscript to print-ready PDF.
We’re passionate about typesetting your meticulously precise, exceptionally designed print & digital book
