Tazugane Gothic Font Family Free Download
The Tazugane Gothic Font family is the first original Japanese typeface created by Monotype.
Designed by Akira Kobayashi, Kazuhiro Yamada, and Ryota Doi of the Monotype Studio, the Tazugane Gothic typeface offers ten weights and was developed to complement the classic Latin typeface, Neue Frutiger.
The design of the Tazugane Gothic Font balances an original, humanistic style with elements of traditional Japanese handwriting.
The two typefaces work together in a natural, seamless and adaptable manner so that Japanese and Latin texts can be used side-by-side for a wide range of applications, including in magazines, books, and other print media; on digital devices; in branding and corporate identity systems; and in signage for buildings, highways and mass transit.
Tazugane Gothic Font was updated to support the “Reiwa” new era symbol. Rewa can be written as two kanji: 令和. This update to Tazugane Gothic includes Reiwa designed as a single ligature and is encoded as U+32FF.
The inspiration for the Tazugane Gothic Font is as elegant as its design. Since antiquity, cranes have been regarded in East Asia as auspicious birds for their noble appearance and elegance in flight. The typeface is named Tazugane Gothic in honor of the longevity of the crane, with the goal that it will be used for many years to come.
The combination of the Tazugane Gothic Font’ traditional and humanistic elements, along with its intended ability to complement popular Latin typefaces, makes it one of the most uniquely flexible designs for applications where Japanese and Latin texts can be used together.
The typeface family was created to have wide appeal, with a pleasing and consistent experience for readers, for use on-screen, in print, in signage, packaging, and advertising.
Tazugane Gothic has 10 weights. The Light, Book, Regular, Medium, and Bold weights are considered best for text sizes. The Ultra Light, Thin, Heavy, Black, and Extra Black weights are recommended for headline sizes.
