LETS business model that resonates as a musician

Representative Director Minoru Mukaitani

Originally my hobby was trains, and my hobbies were high, I originally created a train simulator game for Mac in 1995. This was very popular, and 23 train titles for PC train simulators were released after that. Currently, I am producing game content for PlayStation 2.

In music, a combination of notes expresses various things such as fun, sadness, and fierceness. Also, if you play different instruments, the same song will have a different image. Even in game content, the overall image will change significantly due to background music, sound effects, and differences in characters. At the music hall, we are producing game content with great attention to detail. Of course, it's a game, so I use a lot of letters. LETS has many 139 font types, and it is very useful because it can simulate various expressions.

Also, what the creators always have to cherish is the copyright of the content (works). LETS has a very clear license for game content production, so you can use it with confidence. In addition, LETS's business model of providing fonts as digital contents at a low price makes me feel very much like a musician.

Finally, what I expect from Fontworks in the future is that I want you to develop a font that can be expressed with the same quality as printed matter even on a low-resolution TV monitor. As a user, I would like to feed back various information to Fontworks and make more requests.
