VDL-KyoSensya is an original typeface design based on the “Sensya Moji” or Edo-moji style of lettering used for Japanese traditional printed stickers found at shrines that imparts a sense of history. The typeface is characterized by lively accented curved “Harai” brush strokes. Another unique and innovative feature of this typeface are strokes precisely aligned to the horizontal line. This typeface family has six weights, each of which has a sophisticated flavor that is different from any traditional brush-script typefaces.
VDL-KyoSensya was an award winning design at D&AD in 2011.
