The Takeda Castle Ruins Font is an initiative to create a font inspired by Takeda Castle Ruins, a tourist attraction in Asago City, Hyogo Prefecture, as part of regional revitalization efforts. It was selected as a hometown tax donation return gift by the city. This typeface conveys the strength of brush calligraphy and the momentum of brushwork, while maintaining readability without being too casual, and features square proportions that work well in both vertical and horizontal layouts.
This font includes the top 1,000 kanji characters selected from usage frequency lists compiled by newspaper companies, publishers, and the National Institute for Japanese Language and Linguistics, plus 206 additional characters such as kana, alphanumerics, and carefully selected symbols and punctuation marks.
This series of fonts contains original hand-written Japanese typefaces based on pen calligraphy released in 2002. With a warm-hearted look, these fonts will draw the reader’s eye to key points of a design.
