About Zen Kaku Gothic Antique

Zen Kaku Gothic Antique by Yoshimichi Ohira brings a warm, slightly worn quality to Japanese gothic (sans-serif) type — the 'antique' designation signals letterforms with just enough irregularity to feel hand-crafted rather than mechanically precise. Full Japanese script coverage (hiragana, katakana, kanji) pairs with Cyrillic support, enabling bilingual Japanese-Russian typesetting within a single consistent aesthetic. Its five weights make it suitable for Japanese literary publishing, artisan branding, and digital content with a crafted sensibility.
