Create Your Own Digital Stamp with Your Favorite Font – “Pick-a-Font Stamp” Now Available

Pick-a-font Stamp is a fun and easy-to-use web-based tool that allows users to create and download their own original digital stamp image by combining frame designs—including motifs inspired by Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan—with their favorite text or name typeset in typefaces developed by Morisawa. Users can experience how the impression of words can change simply by switching fonts. Downloaded digital stamps can be used freely, not only as a personal seal (electronic signature), but also as SNS icons, in message cards, or edited into photos for creative expression.

You can choose from 12 different Morisawa typefaces, all of which are representative of the company’s universal design (UD) fonts. These include:

• UD Shin Go – Used in official signage throughout the Expo venue
• Kanteiryu – Popular for fan signs and decorative purposes
• SeikaiSho CB1 – Frequently used in business settings
• UD Digital Kyokasho-tai and UD Gakusan Maru Gothic – Both gaining attention in educational contexts
• Penpal – A hand-drawn style font that’s been rising in popularity in recent years

These font choices allow users to create digital stamps that suit their personality and purpose.
