Description

A modern revival typeface that finds its root from the imperial collection of enamelled porcelain (yousai in Japanese, yangcai in Chinese, “foreign porcelain") of the Qing Dynasty (1644-1912) of China. In contrast to calligraphic clerical scripts (reisho in Japanese, lishu in Chinese) found in the imperial collection, this typeface harmoniously blends yet juxtaposes soften-curves and sharpened-tips in key designated stokes. The distinguishing aesthetic attributes have also been further applied to Japanese hiragana and katakana for usage in Japan.
