Design & features

Genkai Mincho is based on Source Han Serif (Genno Mincho) with heavy distressed, weathered effects. Because it is so detailed, it is not suitable for body text.

Some Simplified characters do not display; switch to Traditional input when needed.

Best uses

Stylistically, Genkai Mincho works well for streetwear visuals, long-form reading pages and tea-house and restaurant menus. For titles, scale it up and open the tracking for an editorial feel.

Pairing ideas

Fonts on this site that pair well with Genkai Mincho:

  • vivo Sans — a neutral face that stays clear at small sizes, ideal for body and supporting text
  • Italiana — an elegant Latin serif for English subtitles and accents
