Design & features
851 Tegaki Zatsu was handwritten by a Japanese designer and looks like everyday ballpoint writing—natural, loose and relaxed, with strokes that are not perfectly straight. The author says he ignored many Japanese glyph standards, hence the name "zatsu" (miscellaneous).
Although Japanese, it includes fairly complete Simplified and Traditional Chinese.
