Kei Ji
Kei Ji (ケイ字) is a tidy looking handwriting style Japanese font you can download for free. It was renamed from the original font Kei Gothic, but with some additional changes: First is slight sizing modification of selected characters and secondly added a proportional version of this font. Other than that, it was pretty much unchanged from the original font. Kei Ji has the characteristics of a handwriting font but it was very tidy and pleased to view. The strokes are clean and generally same width with less contrast, making it comfortable to view even in small sizes. I would say Kei Ji’s handwriting style is a more neutral kind, but it does packed a little hint of cuteness to it.
Kei Ji is a versatile handwriting style font that would work in both large and small size and comes with both fixed width and proportional width. It supports the common Japanese characters, with up to full JIS Level 3 plus a portion of Level 4 kanji level support, which is super awesome. You can download this font for free with and be used on personal and commercial projects.
