Otsutome Font

Otsutome Font (おつとめフォント) is a calligraphy free font with high level of readability. Many of the calligraphy font out there aren’t really readable, so this font is trying to bridge the gap between the expressiveness of calligraphy and easy-to-read font styles.

This font comes with standard Japanese characters, and more than 6000+ kanji characters are included too. You can use this font for personal and commercial projects, as this font is licensed under SIL Open Font License.
