This professional quality Mincho-style typeface is suitable for long texts. It was designed with deep consideration of what a Mincho style typeface design should be, and is based on the essence of traditional type designs from the eras of hot metal type and phototypesetting. Even when used in offset printing, you will get a unique visual effect similar to the ink-bleeding of letterpress printing. Unlike Mincho-style typefaces that have kanji and kana glyphs with larger counter spaces, This typeface retains the strength and weakness of the spaces inherent in each letter and flexibility of the strokes. With these characteristics, text set in this typeface will be readable with a comfortable visual rhythm.
Fontworks developed alongside the digital revolution in print publishing, providing innovative typefaces to support the move to digital production in Japan. With the development of the Tsukushi “revolutionary Mincho style” typeface family and establishment of the first flat-rate font subscription service in Japan, Fontworks has been “providing high-quality fonts with enhanced convenience”. By predicting trends in communication and providing functionality adaptable to changing environments, Fontworks continues to add value to people’s everyday lives.
