"Elegant and Readable Design, Like That of an Accomplished Writer" This product is a fountain pen-style font that realizes beautiful handwritten expressions, designed to resonate with those who feel self-conscious about their handwriting and hesitate to write things like thank-you notes.

The theme of the typeface is "readable cursive handwriting by an accomplished writer." We aimed for an elegant form that is naturally readable while incorporating a moderate level of cursive strokes characteristic of handwriting.

It can be used in various scenes, from polite greeting cards to casual messages.

Unique Method of Developing from Single-Line Drawings and Meticulous Details Born from Persistence To digitally reproduce the beautiful line shapes drawn by a fountain pen, we deliberately extracted the skeleton from characters "written by hand" and then placed designed parts on top of it. This has resulted in a typeface with the "elegant brush strokes unique to handwriting and a warm form imbued with natural structure."
