Gothic is a sans serif typeface with a bright, modern feel. It has a sharp, clear-cut, and distinctive impact, yet at the same time has an air of elegance. The gentle brush-like elements give the characters a good rhythmic feeling, making the type excellent in readability and legibility. It creates eye-pleasing texture in both vertical and horizontal settings. As an OpenType feature, Shin-gana (new kana) has been added to use with Hon Mincho in body text and headlines. The counters are slightly small, and many treatments are offered to bring a pleasant rhythm to the text.
