Font Embedding & Custom Font Development for OEM Solutions
One of the most important elements is the font (typeface). Good design depends on good fonts —something known by every graphic designer.
Our original fonts have been acclaimed by such leading designers and content creators from diverse fields including the Internet, games, and videos.
We are proud to offer the Fontworks Font Embedding Solutions based on our high-quality fonts.
UC Fonts (Universal Communication Fonts)
These fonts have unified design concepts and support Japanese, Latin, Korean, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese scripts.
The definition of font-integrated display devices continues to increase, reaching almost the quality of commercial printing. We have developed these "truly universal" fonts to handle the surging demand for the expanding UI/UX design world. They are your optimal choice for GUI design.

Japan is expecting an increase of inbound tourists, and surpassed ten million tourists in 2013, rising to over twenty-four million in 2016. The Japanese government hopes to welcome forty million visitors in 2020 for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics.
