It's straightforward but still elegantly reflects handwritten traits - Shorai presents itself as a Japanese typeface for the future with its robust simplicity and a human touch."įollowing the successful launch of Tazugane Gothic in January 2017, the demand for sans serif typefaces in the Japanese market has steadily increased - especially within the automotive industry which requires typefaces that exude solidity and confidence. Shorai Sans is a typeface that has evolved over generations. Type designer Ryota Doi adds, " Yukihiro Nakamura's ideas are always surprising and exciting. This is what we have now – it is a sans serif for a new generation," says Monotype's Creative Type Director Akira Kobayashi. "We pushed to make the Heavy weight significantly heavier than an average Japanese sans serif, and we pared each form down to its essence which revealed a true simplicity. Designed by Yukihiro Nakamura, Akira Kobayashi, Ryota Doi, and the Monotype Studio, Shorai Sans is opening new horizons in Japanese typography. Shorai goes beyond existing Japanese sans serifs to provide a wide spectrum of expression and personality for designers to play with. 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.
An intellectual-looking sans serif, Shorai's simplified letterforms and vast weight ranges provide creatives with a holistic branding solution. Shorai balances the subtlety of traditional hand-drawn brushstrokes with clean, geometric outlines.
