073 TEGUSE – Kanaka Font
073 TEGUSE – Kanaka Font is a free handwriting font of the font creator Kanaka Mana (鹿仲茉菜). Created with iPad app “iFontMaker”, this font is a result of a handwriting of the aforementioned creator. It has strong sense of handwriting with its nonchalantness and unevenness of the characters. The hiragana and katakana characters are made slightly smaller than the kanji characters, which I think it made the whole font looked more natural. According to the creator, this font is a “work-in-progress” font as the creator might occasionally update the font if she found the font needs improvement with the balance and what not.
In my opinion, the characters do feel a bit more towards the feminine side with a hint of cuteness, and it should work great on many design applications especially towards the young people and female audience. It supports hiragana and katakana characters, plus more than 4,800 Chinese kanji characters. This font is free to download and be used on personal and commercial projects generally, although it comes with terms. Be sure to read the font licensing agreement before using it.
