Widened inside space between strokes 

In TP Meigetsu, the unique *Fujiwara no Teika handwriting is arranged in the modern style. Teika characters, which stand out among refined old forms of writing, have the features of a noticeably large type face and wide inside space between strokes. Incorporating these features,  Kana also have wide inside space between strokes with a bright expression. Kanji is matched with the TP Mincho High Contrast. Latin is matched with Kana where the inside space between strokes is widened. While designing the overall characters with slightly wide character shapes, the typeface brings a pleasant reading rhythm with its lightweight strokes.

The primary feature of TP Meigetsu is its well-modulated stroke, from the sharp beginning of each brushstroke to the thick ending. Among old forms of writing, which tend to have vertically long proportions in many cases, a unique form with a sense of flatness is also a major feature of Master Teika’s writing. In TP Meigetsu hiragana, these 2 features are clearly expressed. To draw theccloser, the moon shape is incorporated in parts of characters to give an atmosphere of moonlight to the design. Latin typeface is designed with cursive script that does not write in successive characters, beating out a light rhythm while maintaining ease of reading.
