Katakana **Recommended
This beautiful traditional typeface can serve as a traditional or official seal in Japan. Originating from the Heian period, Manyokana script was originally used to transcribe Chinese characters text into Japanese. However, Katakana later emerged as crucial script for writing quickly and concisely. Today, Katakana is primarily used to transcribe foreign words into Japanese, especially those that have been recently borrowed.
Reasons why we recommend Katakana fonts
- Katakana is a typeface unique to Japan
- Katakana designs have a flowing and beautiful look
- Katakana is used in Japan to replace the pronunciation of foreign languages
- Can be used as official personal seals and bank seals. Kanji cannot be used as official seals.
Hiragana
Also a Japanese typeface, Hiragana was also derived from Manyokana characters. Originally, Hiragana gained popularity among the women of the imperial court. Today, the Hiragana script is generally used for Japanese words that do not have a Kanji counterpart.
KANJI **Recommended
Kanji is a system of ideograms originally developed in China to transcribe Chinese. Kanji can represent the shape of an object, an abstract concept, or a combination of both. There are over 50,000 Kanji characters, of which 6-7,000 are used in literature and about 3,000 are used in daily communication. This beautiful traditional typeface is impressive. However, it cannot be used as a personal seal or official stamp in Japan. If you want to use it as a personal seal or official stamp, you must apply to KANJI for the name on your identification card.
Alphabet
Each letter generally represents a type of phonetic notation that includes vowels and consonants following the traditional arrangement of letters. The word "alphabet" comes from "alpha" and "bet", the first two letters of the Greek alphabet.
