This typeface was based on the concept: “Letter forms that speak to you.” It has the visual strength of the Japanese gothic (sans-serif) style and the suaveness of the Mincho style. It is notable for its heavier horizontal strokes that have a uniquely rounded terminal shape. VDL-ADMin’s visual strength and clarity, not usually seen in traditional Mincho-style typefaces coexist well with its placid appearance as if it were written by hand.
The ethos of Visual Design Laboratory (VDL) is to balance the natural beauty of letterforms with rigorous standards for readability and legibility. VDL offers a comprehensive collection known as “VDL Designers Fonts” (VDLデザイナーズフォント), which is sure to resonate with designers seeking a typeface that’s highly individual while maintaining a broad appeal.
