Downloadable fonts inspired by Japan

Via our website, we would also like to share some virtual gifts with you – from Japan Fans, for Japan Fans! As many Japan Fans are very creative, we thought that it might be nice to offer you some downloadable fonts, inspired by Japan.

As of today, we have developed four different alphabets in “Japanese” style, which can be used as fonts on your own PC (for example in Word). With these, you can easily and quickly create designs for your own Japan-related projects!  。^‿^。

These downloadable fonts are free to download for personal, non-commercial use. Have fun with them and let us know if you’ve used them for anything!

Japan Fans brings you Japanese Arts & Culture from the Centre of Utrecht, amongst others in the form of downloadable fonts inspired by Japan.
