About

Description

Yu-Minchotai 36-pt kana is a classical kana sub-set font* that pairs with the kanji characters of Yu-Minchotai. Its design is based on a 36-pt metal type for display produced in the Taisho period (1912–26). Yu-Minchotai 36-pt kana has strokes drawn with rich nuance, as well as uniquely styled glyph shapes. When used for titles or displays in larger sizes, these characteristics are particularly prominent. *― This font does not contain kanji (ideographic) characters.
