Shorai Sans Font Family was designed by Akira Kobayashi, Monotype Design Studio, Ryota Doi and published by Monotype. Shorai Sans contains 10 styles and family package options. Shorai™ Sans balances the subtlety of traditional hand-drawn brushstrokes with clean, geometric outlines. An intellectual-looking sans serif, Shorai’s simplified letterforms and vast weight ranges provide creatives with a holistic branding solution. Shorai Sans was designed as a companion typeface to Avenir® Next, built to work harmoniously in modern global designs, while preserving the essence of Japanese handwriting. Shorai goes beyond existing Japanese sans serifs to provide a wide spectrum of expression and personality for designers to play with. Shorai Sans is opening new horizons in Japanese typography.
