Headline: Body text:

"Font Find" is a corner that introduces various typefaces based on a theme.
This time the theme is "Sheltering from the Rain"!

June is a rainy season.
It can be a hassle to go out, but at times like that, it might be a good idea to take a look at different types of writing.

fork

The original typeface, which is made up of thin horizontal strokes and thick vertical strokes reminiscent of Ming style fonts, somehow gives off a nostalgic Showa-era vibe to the word "Ame-yadori." I'd love to take shelter from the rain at a coffee shop with a name like that.

Kizahashi Kinrei

This is old-style! The distinctive kana and stiff kanji make the name "Kizahashi Kinrei" stand out. It gives the impression of admiring the moist hydrangeas under the eaves of an old temple.

Musashino grass

The kanji for "Musashino" looks handwritten with a fountain pen, and the dashing "kusa kana" (grass-shaped letter). The rainy season greeting card from that thoughtful person would surely be written in such a neat handwriting.
