About
Yuji Hentaigana Akari is a unique handwriting font created by Kinuta Font Factory that digitizes the calligraphy of Yuji Kataoka. It features hentaigana, stylistic alternate versions of Hiragana characters abandoned in 1900, and includes Latin uppercase and small caps. The font supports Japanese, Latin, and Latin-Extended subsets and is available in a single normal weight.
Overview
Yuji Hentaigana Akari is a handwriting typeface that revives the historical hentaigana script, offering stylistic alternates to the standard Hiragana set. It excludes Katakana characters due to the absence of hentaigana forms. The Latin alphabet is presented in all-caps and small caps, complementing the Japanese script. This font is suitable for projects that require an authentic, calligraphic Japanese style with a historical touch. Designers can use it to evoke traditional aesthetics while maintaining legibility in Latin text.
