UD Digital Kyokasho is a universal design typeface for ICT-based educational materials, such as digital textbooks. It is designed to emulate handwriting with a pencil or felt pen, focusing on hand movement. While keeping the direction of the axis and the shape of dots and the harai (sweep) ending, its strokes have less contrast, conscious of the people with low vision and dyslexia. The structure is more close to the penmanship style for textbooks instead of the conventional educational letterforms based on the national guidelines.
