NORAMOJI PROJECT（Trial）
The handwritten letters and characters on signboards found here and there in various towns have a charm that is not found in orderly arranged data fonts. We have actively looked for and became fond of the design attractiveness, such as that which can be found in antiques and folk crafts, of these noramoji letters and of characters having a peculiar loveliness and human touch blended into aged and weathered base materials. That was the beginning of this project. We wanted people to feel the attractiveness of noramoji by discovering and appreciating them, analyzing their shapes, and distributing them as font data available to everyone. It is, so to speak, a folk art campaign in typography. We want to provide support in the hope that noramoji will be passed down to future generations, even if only slightly. Try using these noramoji letters!
