Jocular POP
Jocular POP (ひょうきんな！？ポップ体Ver.２) is a cute and stylish looking handwriting style Japanese font you can download for free. According to the creator, it was created to be used as sister font for All Member’s Gathering font, which was inspired by the handwriting style in the 80’s variety show. The strokes have consistent width with simplistic depiction of each characters, making it a cleaner handwriting style font you can find. I also love the way the characters are slanted, and the usage of round dots for some of the kana characters to bump up that cuteness meter ever so slightly.
Jocular POP supports common Japanese characters like hiragana and katakana, and also commonly used kanji characters (Jōyō kanji), plus additional more. Besides that, you can type basic latin characters too. Moreover, this font is monospaced, hence each character’s width are identical. You can download this font for free and use this font in commercial projects.
