Design & features

Simplified Chinese input may hit missing characters; switch to Traditional input.
Best uses
If you are working on journals and illustration lettering or vlog covers and subtitles, Tanuki Magic is an easy pick, and it is also worth trying for merchandise. Handwriting fonts work best for accents and short lines; long text can look messy.
