"Futomin A101" has long been a favored traditional Ming-cho typeface. Its characteristics include a slightly unrefined skeleton with low center of gravity, and Hane (flick strokes) and Harai (tapered strokes) that create contrast against meticulously fleshed out thickness. This special feature gives every word a profound significance, which is the attraction of this typeface. This is a larger design for both Kanji and Kana, so it is easy to use for not only vertical but for horizontal typesetting, and would be suitable for the body text of magazines, etc., and subheads.
