On November 3rd, 2021, TypeSquare will add 76 fonts, including a number of typefaces that have been newly designed this year.

The new Japanese fonts to be released include “Aoto Gothic” designed for on-screen body text; “Chougetsu”—a script typeface—delicate but incorporating strokes that conjure a feeling of speed; “Genroku Shian” which strongly evokes brush veins replicating annotations from the Yuan Dynasty in China and the Ukiyo Zoshi in Genroku Era in Japan; an old-style Mincho typeface “Shuei Nijimi 4goKana” which simulates ink bleeding in letterpress printing. New Roman fonts include the humanist sans-serif “Sharoa Pro” which is suitable for body text in official documents, and “Backflip Pro”, a jaunty and playful display typeface.

Also released are “Bunyu Mincho”, a font that is intended for literary text, as well as a separate kana lineup including “Bunrei Kana”, “Sokyu Kana”, “Yuso Kana” and “Tarumi Kana” which share the kanji designs of “Bunyu Mincho”, widening the possibilities of body copy typesetting. Additionally, seven fonts of GB-2312-80 compatible “Hiragino Sans GB Std” are added. The existing “Hiragino Sans GB” typeface will also be expanded from two weights to seven, greatly expanding available design choices.

Furthermore, AP versions of “Jun”, “Folk”, “Maru Folk”, “Kaimin Sora”, “Kaimin Tsuki”, “MainichiNewspapersM”, “MainichiNewspapersG” and “Shuei Nijimi Min” as well as “Shuei 4goKana+”, combining kana font “Shuei 4goKana” and kanji of “Shuei Mincho”, will be added.
