The design concept of this typeface is “to create a typeface with originality with restrained quality of the traditional Mincho type style.”
Each stroke has a sharp starting point like that of a pike, and a gently curved harai terminal like a long bending ribbon.
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.
