Announcing TP Tsurara
Following the second release of the Seasonal Font Project – TP Meigetsu, in which the unique Fujiwara no Teika handwriting is arranged in a modern style, the third release is TP Tsurara, a font with the image of icicles, modeled around the handwriting of Fujiwara no Toshinari as the Kana character design. Fujiwara no Teika’s real father, Toshinari was a master of tankas in the late Heian dynasty (A.D. 794 to 1185), and “*Korai Futeisho” written by him, influenced later Japanese culture significantly. Features of the characters of Toshinari are the sharp beginning and ending of brushstrokes, and turning parts; combined with the strong peculiarity of the character shape, the characters of Toshinari form his own calligraphic style.
