Ryumin is a standard Mincho serif typeface based on and named after the Mincho type developed by Morikawa Ryobundo type foundry. While it reproduces the sharpness of a chisel in the left and right harai (sweep) endings and dots, the terminals and the uroko (serif) of both horizontal and vertical strokes have a softness which gives the type a friendly feel. The typeface is well known for its beautifully balanced flow and has a wide range of uses for standard typesetting, from body text to headlines.
Morisawa Inc. is Japan’s leading font foundry that has never wavered from its commitment to undertaking research and development in typography since its establishment in 1924 – the year it invented the first Japanese phototypesetting machine. The company provides font licenses for over 1,500 typefaces of Japanese and multi-script, web font services, embedded fonts, and multilingual e-magazine/book solution services. Their library includes typefaces from TypeBank and its group company Jiyukobo.
