About fonts

As a full-fledged Mincho Text for long text, it follows the essence of the printing and phototypesetting era, and is a font that takes into consideration to the maximum extent what a Mincho font should be. Even in offset printing, it has a unique atmosphere where you can see the ink pools like typeface.
It stands out from the Mincho typeface of kanji and kana, which have wide openings, and preserves the ``strength and weakness of the space inherent in the letters themselves'' and the ``relaxation of the line quality.'' When the letters are put together, they create a rhythmic and comfortable readability.
