AB-KazunAon_f is effective for a wide range of purposes from body text composition to display typesetting in both horizontal and vertical writing modes, creating a sense of novelty. The typeface is intended to encourage people to communicate with each other in harmonious ways, providing a lively and warm atmosphere.
Its vertical strokes are straight up and down with right-ascending strokes running sideways. The upper and lower components of a character are shifted slightly horizontally, while left and right side components are shifted slightly vertically, so that the character shapes are more widely open.
Stroke widths are carefully adjusted according to a set of rules. Although this typeface is a Mincho style typeface, its subtly varying stroke shapes give it warmth and strength.
This font includes top 1,000 kanji characters chosen from character frequency tables made by newspaper companies, publishing houses and linguistic research institutes, plus 206 kana characters and punctuation marks.
In Japanese font production today, the 7,000 characters in the JIS standard are considered essential. But, do all fonts really need 7,000 characters? In the age of phototypesetting, far fewer characters were needed. FONT1000, a group of independent type designers, started with that simple question. We have selected the minimum 1,000 kanji (ideographic) characters needed for typesetting in Japanese and actively created typefaces and fonts to support it. This 1,000-kanji-character set was selected using character frequency data compiled by newspaper companies, publishing houses and linguistic research organizations, etc., and also includes kana syllabic characters and punctuation marks. FONT1000 was formed in 2001 with 25 designers and 25 typefaces. Today we have 130 typefaces and have grown to include nearly 40 members, making it possible to work on fonts with more characters.
