At Fontworks, we are promoting research and development in the fields of advanced interface design, product creation that requires visibility, readability, and safety, and device embedding, including healthcare and automobile-related fields.

As part of this research and development, we have released "Font Simulator beta version" from April 2022.
"Font Simulator (Font Simulator) beta version" combines fonts and 3D technology, allowing you to check the visibility of fonts for each scene on the web. This version has been upgraded and new scenes/fonts have been added.

"Font Simulator beta version" version upgrade

In this version upgrade, one type of "blood pressure monitor" has been added to the selectable scenes, and you can now choose from a total of four types. In addition, 15 typefaces such as "Inclusive Design Font (ID Font)" have been added, and you can choose from a total of 30 types.
You can choose one scene and adjust the font, font color and lighting. Please use it for printing products and checking the screen display of equipment.
*Scenes and fonts may be added or changed in the future. Thank you for your understanding.

Scene (4 types in total)	① Sphygmomanometer ② Pharmaceutical Packaging (2 types) (3) In-vehicle display
light	①Intensity of light (2) Light source position
font	All 30 types including inclusive design font (ID font), AR font, Universal Design font, Telop Mincho, Tsukushi typeface

Development background

By using the "Font Simulator beta version", it is possible to easily check visibility, readability, and safety, aiming to help improve product development speed and product quality.
3D technology and high-quality fonts are combined to reproduce mockups that are closer to the real thing.
This simulator was jointly developed with our subsidiary, Integral Vision Graphics.

Currently, we are preparing simulations in environments related to healthcare and automobiles, but in the future we will work on research and development of simulators so that various environments can be reproduced.
