An old style Ming-cho typeface, “A1 Ming-cho” has been loved since the beginning of Morisawa. The easy curvature of the Kanji characters and the gracefulness of the Kana characters create a unique feel to this typeface. With digitalization, the appearance of an ink spread specific to phototypesetting was recreated where two strokes meet, and the typeface has been reborn with a gentleness and a natural warmth. Due to its superior legibility, it has a wide range of uses, from nuanced large headlines to body text.
