It is called "8K", 4K has 4 times the number of pixels of the current high definition, and 8K has 16 times the number of pixels.
Fontworks' view on industry trends toward 4K / 8K practical broadcasting
Fontworks recognizes that it will be a great turning point for the broadcasting industry following the decision to use 4K / 8K practical broadcasting for BS / 110 ° CS from December 2018.
High-definition and high-definition 4K / 8K TVs, monitors, and other display devices have become popular even in general households.
It is becoming necessary to use fonts that can be displayed at a high level of "visibility," "readability," and "readableness" even on high-resolution displays that enable clearer Video expression.
Based on JIS X 0213 for Fontworks Universal Design fonts, Fontworks has proved "visibility," "readability," "discrimination" and "beauty" in joint research with Kyushu University to meet this need. We have prepared 3 typefaces with a Character Sets of approximately 16,000 characters that correspond to ARIB STD-B62.
[Joint research with Kyushu University "Study on evaluation of Universal Design fonts"]
Universal Design fonts from Fontworks are "visibility," "readability," and "readability" on a 4K-compatible high-resolution display used as an experimental environment in the "Research on Universal Design font evaluation" conducted in collaboration with Kyushu University. Has been proven to be excellent.
