A1 Mincho (AP) is an old-style Mincho typeface that has been cherished since the beginning of Morisawa. It is characterized by the unique flavor created by the curves of kanji characters and the graceful expressions of kana characters. The typeface replicates the ink spread found at the intersections of strokes of phototypesetting, imparting a gentle and natural warmth. In the AP version, “A1 Mincho” has expanded from the traditional single weight to three weights (R/M/B). Additionally, its Latin characters have been redesigned with inspiration drawn from classical designs rooted in 16th-century France, offering a renewed and classical aesthetic.
