Shippori Mincho B1 - Google Fonts

About

Shippori Mincho is a family intended for novel writers who are looking for a beautiful and free Mincho style family. It is based on The Tokyo Tsukiji Type Foundry No. 5 Mincho style, which has had a great influence on the style itself.

The Regular was originally designed for long-form text setting in novels and the ExtraBold was originally designed for titles and headlines. Eventually, it became a family of 5 weights.

When you have some text, how can you choose a typeface? Many people—professional designers included—go through an app’s font menu until we find one we like. But the aim of this Google Fonts Knowledge module is to show that there are many considerations that can improve our type choices. By setting some useful constraints to aid our type selection, we can also develop a critical eye for analyzing type along the way.
