The Kozuka Mincho typeface family is composed of six different weights to cover various uses ranging from body text composition to headlines. Not simply based on the tradition of the mincho style, the Kozuka Mincho family has a clear and original touch reflecting our current era. Masahiko Kozuka supervised and led the typeface design project of Kozuka Mincho, and Adobe’s Japanese type design team produced the typeface. Kozuka Mincho is also available as an updated “Pr6N” version that includes over 7,500 additional glyphs, supports the JIS X 0213 and JIS X 0212 standards, and is JIS2004-savvy.
The Adobe Originals program started in 1989 as an in-house type foundry at Adobe, brought together to create original typefaces of exemplary design quality, technical fidelity, and aesthetic longevity.
Today the Type team’s mission is to make sophisticated and even experimental typefaces that explore the possibilities of design and technology. Typefaces released as Adobe Originals are the result of years of work and study, regarded as industry standards for the ambition and quality of their development.
