Maniackers Design Fonts →
Lots of fun Japanese/English share & freeware fonts at Maniackers Design, in case you’re looking for some! When I was a design student I was always enamored by contemporary Japanese graphic design because it presented you the chance to design with four alphabets — hiragana, katakana, roman letters and kanji.

Just so long as you keep going. And jeez, that may be escapism or a gross oversimplification of the reality we live in, but isn’t that sense of… of justice the yearning of...
