Shorai Sans

Shorai™ Sans is Monotype’s second Japanese typeface after Tazugane Gothic, and is designed using the formative elements and impressive weight range of Avenir® Next. It makes Shorai Sans a natural companion for Latin text set in contemporary geometric sans typefaces. Shorai balances the subtlety of traditional hand-drawn brushstrokes with clean, geometric outlines. An intellectual-looking sans serif, Shorai’s simplified letterforms and vast weight ranges opens new horizons in Japanese typography.
