List of Recommended Fonts
When creating a tool, in order to ensure that our design tone remains uniform, please use a recommended ‘Typefaces for Standard Use’ font. If a recommended font is not available, please use a gothic font. Please use the same font for all Japanese-language content, and the same font for all English-language content.
Typefaces for Standard Use: Japanese Text
【Primary font】
【Secondary font】
For PowerPoint materials, Meiryo should be used as a general rule to prevent character corruption.
As Meiryo UI is designed primarily for operating system user interface display, it should not be used in the company’s deliverables, including PowerPoint materials.
【Tertiary font】
Typefaces for Standard Use: English Text
【Primary font】
*When using Noto Sans in a catchphrase, use Noto Sans Japanese, where the letter “J” is similar in appearance.
【Secondary font】
For PowerPoint materials that include English text, verdana should be used as the Secondary Font as a general rule to prevent display inconsistencies caused by differences in PC environments.
Verdana provides stable and consistent display in PowerPoint materials.
【Tertiary font】
Please do not use multiple fonts for a single language (Japanese, English)
Example of what to avoid, Japanese text: A layout with Meiryo used in the heading and tagline, and Noto Sans Japanese in the body.
Example of what to avoid, English text: A layout with Verdana used in the heading and tagline, and Noto Sans in the body.
Please do not use Mincho fonts.
