What is Maru Mincho
Since its release in 2001, it is a typeface that has been loved and used for a long time, from paper media such as posters and Advertisement to magazines, to digital contents such as TVCF, programs, and the Web.
It is a unique typeface that gives a warm impression and nostalgia to the viewer while giving a soft impression by using circles for the elements even though it is a Mincho typeface, and the movement of the brush is emphasized.
Maru Mincho typeface has seven types of kana different typefaces.
Kinuta typeface from Akira Kataoka
Marumei Old is 20 years after it appeared as the first Mincho type in the 21st century. "Classical yet modern, orthodox but charming." "It's easy to see if you can typeset properly with Marumei." "It's a mysterious font." Designers, art directors, copywriters, marketing and sales staff I also received your opinion.
In 2007, 6 kinds of pseudonym were added to form the Marumei family. And this year, it can be used with mojimo. There has never been a single family subscription. I'm thrilled how the Maru Mincho body resonates with a new user group called mojimo. Rich Japanese, its thoughts and words become fonts and touch the eyes of people. I would be happy if I could make use of that deep and rich typesetting expression.
Mincho body made of circles. Maruaki is a unique Mincho type in Japan.
