Overview

Type Project has developed adjustable functions that make it possible to retain a balanced state with proper character proportions, even when the weight, contrast or character width is changed. FitFont Service makes use of these functions to create fonts that are capable of dynamic variations while still preserving design consistency and quality. Much in the same way that one can adjust the volume to one’s liking when listening to music, this service allows one to carry out fine adjustments of character thickness and contrast in accordance with the purpose and the application. This is the FitFont concept.

Maybe there’s no font on the market available in the weight you are looking for, or you want a font that’s different from what other companies are using. FitFont Service has been developed to respond to such needs. You can choose a font to be the voice of your company by adjusting the weight, width, contrast or space b/w strokes of AXIS Font, TP Mincho or TP Sky. By altering the alphabetic characters used in Japanese-language content situations and realizing a proper balance of Japanese and Latin font, you can completely transform the impression created by your company’s message.

For global-scale enterprises that specify the use of Latin corporate fonts, FitFont may be the perfect solution.
