Kyū Maru Gothic

Description

Inspired by hand-painted Japanese train station signs from the late 1950s, Kyū Maru Gothic interprets and extends their handmade heritage into a coherent rounded sans serif and multiscript Latin/Japanese typeface. It carefully considers the warm and individual character created by the brush of the original sign painters and integrates it coherently into a typeface for contemporary use. The typeface comes on a width axis to allow more flexible typesetting for its intended use at display sizes.
