TypeBank UD Gothic is a universal design san serif that ensures both legibility and design quality. In order to make the kanji more clear and identifiable, the letterforms are simplified by omitting hane (hook) and geta (the vertical lines extending beyond horizontal strokes at the bottom of kanji). The face is widened by adjusting counters and other spaces to maintain the balance of each character’s shape. The kana are made slightly smaller than the kanji to give a good rhythm and flow when setting long texts in the lighter weights.
