This typeface is characterized by the accented shapes that can be seen in the beginnings and endings of each stroke, and which are typical of a pen script type. Based on handwriting with a pen or pencil, the design has a unique appearance different from other traditional brush script typeface designs such as the Kaisho-tai (Regular script) or Kyokasho-tai (Textbook) styles. This typeface is suitable for body text composition.
The world’s premier type design and engineering team, Monotype Studio, has more than 50 members around the world helping brands craft a unique visual voice. In 2025, Fontworks Inc. joined Monotype.
