A Unique Worldview Concentrating Creators' Sensibilities: Two New Series Focused on 'Text' and 'Graphics' Simultaneously Launched at pTa.shop

MdN Corporation (headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Toru Ogawa), a company under the Impress Group that manages media businesses in the design field, has simultaneously released two new original T-shirt series on June 12, 2026 (Friday) at pTa.shop (https://p-t-a.shop/), an on-demand print T-shirt mall where publishers officially open stores.

This release from MdN features two series: 'Henai Moji Sekkeishitsu ~Endless Exploration of Characters and a Passionate Study of Lines and Forms~', centered on typography and lettering, and 'Tabunka Kyosei Sekkeiku <Emotic> ~A Design Creation Zone Where Emotions and Visuals Intersect and Resonate~', which visually expresses emotions and thoughts. Both series present original works by creators that go beyond the boundaries of books.

Series 1: Henai Moji Sekkeishitsu ~Endless Exploration of Characters and a Passionate Study of Lines and Forms~

Welcome to the infinite world of character design!

This series embodies creators' deep affection for 'characters'.

'Hentai Moji Sekkeishitsu' is a T-shirt project created for pTa, born from both published lettering and logos featured in MdN's existing books and private works by authors. Characters are treated not merely as symbols, but as lyrical, illustrative, and sculptural materials. Every subtle fluctuation of lines, breathing space in negative areas, and minor changes in elements are meticulously refined into design. Featuring diverse themes including Japanese kanji, English words, and phrases, these designs are rich with intricate details that deepen upon closer inspection—each piece overflowing with love for typography.

These designs, infused with creators' individuality, are a treasure trove for typography enthusiasts.

Immerse yourself fully in this deeply passionate world of character artistry.
