Design & features

Oradano Mincho is based on type sold by the Tokyo Tsukiji Type Foundry in Meiji 30 (1897), recreating Meiji-era Mincho. It imitates the unevenness of letterpress printing, whose irregularities give it a soft, warm, hand-made feel. First released in 2003, it has been updated since.

It includes the 2,000 most frequent kanji in Aozora Bunko and the 1981 Joyo list; it leans Traditional, so some Simplified characters are missing.

Best uses

Oradano Mincho shines in refreshing heritage brands and long-form reading pages, and is a good fit for cultural posters too. For titles, scale it up and open the tracking for an editorial feel.
