Design & features
Nikumaru has thick, even strokes with round ends and no sharp corners, so each glyph's outline swells toward a circle—clumsy and adorable, with consistent shapes and sizes.
Simplified coverage is limited; Traditional coverage is larger.
Best uses
If you are working on dessert and drink posters or article header images, Nikumaru is an easy pick, and it is also worth trying for headline captions on app screenshots. For headlines, tighten the tracking a little and size it well above body text for a clear hierarchy.
