“Midashigo MB1” is a traditional Gothic typeface positioned between “Futogo B101” and “Midashigo MB31.” This is an orthodox design with a calligraphic accent at the starting point of the strokes. With a balanced blackness between Kanji and Kana characters, it creates an even-toned, clear impression when typeset. It was designed with readability as its emphasis; it is not hard to read even in long compositions, and has a wide variety of uses from small headlines and titles to long copy.
