Contest Brief

I need a custom Japanese-inspired font that will read smoothly as body text across my website. I’m aiming for a modern look that echo contemporary Japanese aesthetics, while feeling minimalistic and elegant.

Key details
• Primary use: long-form paragraphs and general copy, so readability at smaller sizes is essential.
• Style cues: modern, understated, refined lines rather than decorative brushwork.
• Mood: balanced sophistication; no overly playful flourishes.

What to submit
1. A full Latin character set (uppercase, lowercase, numerals, basic punctuation, including letters ö, ä, ü, ß) rendered in your proposed style.
2. At least one paragraph mock-up (around 60–80 words) to show real-world legibility on screen.
3. Final files in OTF or TTF, plus a webfont kit (WOFF/WOFF2).
4. Brief notes on spacing, recommended size ranges, and any OpenType features included.

The winning entry will combine aesthetic harmony with crisp readability and will drop seamlessly into CSS @font-face without extra tweaking.

For inspiration/reference, please check the website https://www.janu.com/.

I look forward to seeing your take on a sleek, modern Japanese-inspired typeface!

    CH, be careful, the majority of entries you'll come across are going to be AI generated, we're talking roughly 99% AI. These scammers will flood the competition with HUNDREDS of AI images, but there are ways to spot them. Pay attention to anyone dropping all their entries in a suspiciously short amount of time. A genuinely hand crafted design takes real time to produce, so seeing multiple different entries posted back to back is simply not possible. The best way to catch them out is to click on any entry and tap the "See All" button to reveal their spamming pattern and just how fast they're posting entries. ALWAYS CLICK SEE ALL. I really can't stress this enough, every entry you find yourself drawn to, SEE ALL.

    ALSO PLEASE NOTE!!!

    AI-generated images have no copyright protection, leaving the door open for any third party to duplicate the design, which could result in legal disputes over ownership or usage rights further down the road.

    I have visited your website and reviewed the font samples used there. I would love to capture that same refined, luxury aesthetic while ensuring the typeface is optimized for long-form body text.

    To ensure the final result aligns with your vision, I have a quick question regarding the weight: Would you prefer to maintain this specific high-contrast style for the body copy, or would you prefer a slightly softer, more balanced contrast to prioritize long-term readability on screens
