Comments from everyone from Masahiro Nakamura
I think most people have never heard the words "nar" or "gona" nowadays. This is the typeface name I made about 1970-75, about 45 years ago. A phototypesetting machine, a typeface for mechanical typesetting machines, commonly known as "typesetting". At this Event, I would like to talk about why this typeface was created, why it was created, and how to make it, in line with my experience. Before the current spread of digital fonts for personal computers, this typesetting printing was the mainstream. This system has been used for about 60 to 70 years. I think it will be an opportunity for young people today to know that it was amazingly analog. We hope you will feel free to join us.

Comments from everyone to Shigenobu Fujita
This is the first time I can talk about Chikushi typeface in Nagoya. Why did Tsukushi Mincho L appeared in 2003 in that style? Old Ming Dynasty Tsukushi Old Mincho is becoming a standard in the world. Tsukushi Antique Mincho, which is out of the conventional orthodox world. And I will talk to Tsukushi Antique Maru Gothic under development. By all means! I'm waiting for you.
