Higumin, a Fairy-Tale Typeface by Ryoko Nishizuka | Adobe Creative Cloud

Traditionally, Japanese typefaces are square. Free-form handwritten characters evolved into their current monospaced configuration for the sake of efficiency and legibility. The continuing appeal of free-form handwriting, though, encourages type designers to break the square mold and draw looser, more organic characters. An unprecedented expression of this longing for typographic freedom is Higumin, the result of a unique collaboration between Adobe Principal Designer Ryoko Nishizuka—author of the award-winning Kazuraki, the first fully proportional OpenType Japanese font—and famous Japanese painter and illustrator Yuko Higuchi.
