Announcement Headquarters Relocation

Announcement

Fontworks Inc. (President and CEO: Ai Harada, hereinafter "Fontworks") relocated its head office from the current Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture to Minato-ku, Tokyo, with the aim of providing further communication business and expanding our business. I decided to do it.

Head office installation

Since last year, we have moved related departments to the city center in order to promote close dialogue with various customers and collaboration with cutting-edge technology.

With this relocation of the head office, we have set up a head office that consolidates sales bases, development bases, and management departments into one. We have put in place a system to carry out more active corporate activities and provide more value to everyone.

In addition, the Fukuoka head office so far will become the base of the design / production department and customer success department as "Fukuoka Creative Lab" in the future. Please look forward to the new system consisting of the head office, which will increase contact points with everyone, and the "Fukuoka Creative Lab," which pursues more advanced creativity.

■ Head Office New Address: 5F, Nissin Aoyama Building, 3-2-4 Kita-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0061

Introduction of new office

In 2018, which celebrated the 25th anniversary of our founding, we established a tag line “Mojito Jiyuuni” for all employees, and for the past year, we have expanded into concrete corporate activities.

Even in the new office, we set keywords such as “fusion of creative and engineering”, “work while playing”, and “collaboration among employees” so that we can embody “Moji and Much more seriously”, and the environment for that I made it.

The history cultivated in the past 25 years, the future that will shape in the next 25 years.

The fonts that we have consistently provided since our founding are evolving at a swift speed in the environment in which they are used. It has spread to the plane. In addition to creating a typeface that is optimal for the environment in which characters are displayed, technological development that focuses on the environment of the customers who use it is essential.

In order to continue to provide services that closely follow such changes in the environment, we will create, nurture, and provide free ideas in a natural environment for us today.

On the main floor, a desk with an initial letter "C" that is common to keywords such as "Creative, Collaboration" that is necessary for a new office environment is placed in the center. In addition, a large display that is always connected to the Fukuoka Creative Lab is installed in the center of the wall to enable active communication between the two locations.
The entrance is equipped with a chair and a display with a doll's table, and while ensuring business security, we have created a space for casual communication with people outside the company.

There are several meeting rooms available, such as a casual interior (left) that encourages free thinking and a room (right) that is ideal for chic and calm meetings. It is designed so that the location can be selected according to the mindset.

Efforts to expand the possibilities of Moji

We, Fontworks, are proceeding with concrete preparations to expand our communication business to various platforms and devices, including providing custom fonts (Font Management and Text Scaling) to Apple iOS / iPadOS. I am.

"Mojimo-manga iPad β version" and "mojimo-live light iPad β version" started in September 2019, we would like to provide fonts to people who are working on touch devices as soon as possible. With this in mind, this is a beta version that was released in advance as we proceeded with the preparation, but it has been used by an extremely large number of people beyond our expectations.

The beta version of "mojimo-manga" and "mojimo-live lite" that can be used on iPad and iPhone has been released.

There are many projects in our business plan that we can't publish yet. Taking advantage of this move to the head office, we will continue to develop business centered on “Moji and Much more seriously” so that we can realize a wider range of rich communication, and work hard to create a typeface loved by everyone for a long time. I will come.
