Showashotai

Showashotai is a brand of high-quality brush-script typefaces designed to meet many needs. Each letter form is carefully designed by a skilled master of calligraphy.
Originally an advertising production company in the 1950s, Kouei Sign Works transformed into a font manufacturing company specializing in brush-script typefaces in 2006.
In 2013, it was officially renamed to Showashotai Co., Ltd. Showashotai creates digital brush-script typefaces that look like real handwritten calligraphic letters. With all production work done in-house, Showashotai aims to preserve the culture of Japanese calligraphy for the future.
