Akai Bara Font Family was designed by Michael Kovacevich and published by MKGD. Akai Bara contains 1 styles and family package options. I’ve always found the focal point of attraction in Japanese packaging to be the interplay between bold, brushed, calligraphic, kanji characters juxtaposed against present day Latin typography.It occurred to me that if Japanese packaging can accommodate this visual dichotomy, then why not make these two elements available in a single font.The typeface, Akai Bara (Japanese for “Red Rose”), is a Latin font comprised of two distinct parts. The uppercase letters are influenced by the bold, intense, flourishes of traditional Sumi-e brush in full flower; while the thorny lowercase characters are structured in a more familiar fashion.Together, they provide the perfect solution for Asiatic design projects by displaying a modern beauty alongside a splash of oriental artistry.Akai Bara has a glyph count of 388 and supports the following languages:Afrikaans • Albanian • Asu • Basque • Bemba • Bena • Bosnian • Catalan • Cebuano • Chiga • Colognian • Cornish • Corsican • Croatian • Czech • Danish • Embu • English • Esperanto • Estonian • Faroese • Filipino • Finnish • French • Friulian • Galician • German • Gusii • Hungarian • Icelandic • Ido • Indonesian • Interlingua • Irish • Italian • Javanese • Jju • Kabuverdianu • Kalaallisut • Kalenjin • Kamba • Kikuyu • Kinyarwanda • Kurdish • Latvian • Lithuanian • Lojban • Low German • Lower Sorbian • Luo • Luxembourgish • Luyia • Machame • Makhuwa-Meetto • Makonde • Malagasy • Malay • Maltese • Manx • Māori • Mauritian Creole • Meru • North Ndebele • Northern Sotho • Norwegian Bokmål • Norwegian Nynorsk • Nyanja • Nyankole • Occitan • Oromo • Polish • Portuguese • Rejang • Romanian • Romansh • Rombo • Rundi • Rwa • Samburu • Sango • Sangu • Sardinian • Scottish Gaelic • Sena • Shambala • Shona • Slovak • Slovenian • Soga • Somali • South Ndebele • Southern Sotho • Spanish • Sundanese • Swahili • Swati • Swedish • Swiss German • Taita • Taroko • Teso • Tsonga • Tswana • Turkmen • Upper Sorbian • Vunjo • Walloon • Walser • Wolastoqey • Xhosa • Zulu
