When I was a student, I liked festivals so much that I was on the executive committee for the school festival. Doesn't it sound like a "festival"?
I heard that there will be a font festival on Saturday, May 18th, Osaki!
(Fontworks booth management, lol)
CSS Nite LP61 "Day to think about fonts and web typesetting" (May 18, 2019)
The venue was the Osaki Bright Core Hall in Osaki, one station away from Shinagawa Station.
A collection of rare items from Fukuoka!
Many font makers exhibit booths.
We have prepared "rare items" that you can hardly see at Fontworks so that all the participants can enjoy it!
That's it!
This is a font object only at Fontworks headquarters in Fukuoka.
I brought it from Fukuoka for this day.
This is the Tsukushi font, PalRamune, and PalRetron is scheduled for release in July 2019.
On this day, Fujita from Chikushi Typeface and Ochi from PalRamune and PalRetron were going to be speaking at the Event, so we decided to exhibit these objects.
I wondered if the participants would be happy with it, and I encouraged them to take photos, but...
"Wow! So cute!"
"That's amazing!"
"Can I touch you?"
I was relieved to see so many people interested in it, saying, "I'm glad I brought it." Many people took photos of it! Some people shared it on Twitter and Instagram, which made me really happy!

The font of the future...As I mentioned earlier in the object section, it's PalRetron is scheduled to be released in July 2019.
Finally, titled “Tsukushi typeface so far, and from now on”, Fontworks Fujita over 90 minutes, talk about the secret story of development so far and the future Chikushi typefaces.
It was a very fun day with a lot of content and a lot to learn!
Uncle Font at the keynote speech
"A day to love and enjoy learning fonts"
It was said that it was a day like that.
It's a day when Osaki was dyed with fonts. It was a festival full of font love.
Everyone who participated, the organizers, the speakers, the font makers who operated the booth, thank you very much!
