Design & features
Chokyokusai (Ultra Thin) aims for extreme thinness, imitating ballpoint lines drawn along a ruler; its strokes are far finer than most fonts yet still crisp.
Some Simplified Chinese characters are missing (switch to Traditional input if needed), and the hairline strokes may disappear in print, so check your output.
Best uses
Stylistically, Chokyokusai (Ultra Thin) works well for event poster headlines, short-video cover titles and headline captions on app screenshots. For headlines, tighten the tracking a little and size it well above body text for a clear hierarchy.
