Chikushi A Vintage Mincho

Chikushi B Vintage Mincho
"Tsukushi B Vintage MinchoL / SR" was inspired by the design of "Fu" edited by Keio University Press "Tenarai no Sentence" Fukuzawa Yukichi, which was published in 1884, and was designed in Japanese syllabary. This is the expanded typeface.
The design, in which a part of the letters are condensed and on the opposite side has a large spread, is a typeface with an impressive design that captures the heart of the viewer with a dynamic and lively look.

Tsukushi B Old Mincho
It is a typeface in which Tsukushi A Old Mincho kanji is equipped with the old-fashioned and new Styles kana. The character of Styles, which is similar to the Japanese character used in the early Mincho Kana, is left behind, and each character is carefully crafted to create a modern look.

Tsukushi Mincho
As a full-fledged Mincho typeface for long Text, it is a typeface that follows the essence of the typesetting and phototypesetting eras and takes into account what should be Mincho typeface.

It distinguishes itself from the wide Kanji and Kana Mincho typefaces, leaving behind the strength and weakness of the space in which the characters themselves are and the flexibility of the line quality. Produces rhythmical and comfortable readability when writing letters.
