Typeface notes:
Heisei Mincho was one of the first typeface families developed by a group of type foundries formed by the Japanese Standards Association (JSA). In 1988, a font development project was started by the Font Development and Promotion Center (FDPC), which was formed as an affiliate of the JSA. A type design competition was held for Mincho typefaces and design proposed by Ryobi Imagix Co. was elected. Heisei Mincho is a modern Mincho design with relatively larger counter-spaces and simplified strokes composed of many straight lines. For better reproduction on low-resolution output devices, its horizontal stroke width is set heavier than other standard Mincho typefaces. Lighter weights of Heisei Mincho such as W3 are suitable for printing books and office documents.
