Fontworks Inc. New Greco" and "Iwata LETS" for the annual flat-rate font service "LETS" on August 27, 2019 (Tuesday).

"LETS" new typeface

Regular type "New Greco" is joining the classic series.

"New Greco" is based on "Greco" and newly supports JIS2004. For the kanji, we have changed "Kusakanmuri" and "Itohen" into modern character shapes that are familiar in Japan. In addition, we have created a new "kana" to match the kanji. It is a "kana" design that is conscious of the natural flow of brush strokes so that it fits clean Kanji characters. It has a resolute yet gentle atmosphere, and can express both strength and delicacy when composing sentences.
