About Seibi Socho Font Family


The Socho (Song Dynasty-style) typeface is based on a style used for woodblock printing in Song-period China. The SEIBI Socho typeface updates the Song style by making it simpler and sharper. With minimized size variations between kanji and kana, the design is readable both in vertical and horizontal typesetting. 宋朝体の起源は中国の宋の時代に木版印刷に使われた書体です。セイビ宋朝体は、さらにシンプルでシャープなイメージを目指しました。かな、漢字の大小があまりない、タテ組でもヨコ組でも組みやすくデザインしました。本来の宋朝体は骨が細く、右上がりの斜体がかった長体ですが、セイビ宋朝体はそのシャープな特徴を生かしたまま正体に近く、タテでもヨコでも組みやすい書体に仕上げています。毛筆とは違う、木版用書体の彫刻的な堅いエレメントも特徴です。

About Nihon Literal

Since its foundation, Nihon Literal has accumulated trust and a successful track record mainly in the production of characters used for the headings of book advertisements by publishers and newspaper companies. Among them, "Seibi Font" is a unique typeface brand created to satisfy a customer's request for a font that does not exist in print and typesetting and cannot be represented with existing characters. We will continue to combine the technologies and know-how that have been cultivated over the years in the development of "Seibi Font" and bring passion to the making of fonts by paying attention to details while foremost thinking about customers who wish to convey their sentiments. 日本リテラルは創業以来、主に出版社や新聞社の書籍広告における見出し用文字の制作に携わりながら、多くの信頼と実績を積み重ねてまいりました。 その中で、活字や写植にない書体、または既成の文字では表現できない書体がほしい、というお客様のご要望に応えて誕生した独自の書体ブランド、それが「セイビフォント」です。 これからも私たちは、セイビフォント開発において長年培ってきた技術とノウハウを結集し、思いを伝えたい人のことを第一に考えながら、細部にまでこだわった書体づくりに情熱を注ぎ続けてまいります。
