WHAT IS NIHON?

The Nihon typefamily builds the bridge between the western and eastern typography and allows you to write and read in latin letters with an japanese appearance.

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?

All latin letters were abstracted and completely new designed following the visual language of the traditional japanese Inkan-Seals which have been arround for more than 1500 years. They were used as official signatures for papers, artworks or the traditional Ukiyo-e woodblock prints.
