About Zen Old Mincho

Zen Old Mincho by Yoshimichi Ohira is a Japanese serif typeface in the Mincho style that draws on classical woodblock-print letterform traditions, with strong contrast between thick horizontal strokes and hairline verticals, distinctive triangular stroke endings, and a deliberately antiquarian character. The family supports Japanese kanji and kana alongside Latin, Cyrillic, and Greek, making it suitable for bilingual publications, historical themed design, and literary projects seeking an authentic East Asian calligraphic gravity. Five weights extend its range from refined body text to expressive display use.
