Yu Kyokasho M is a contemporary textbook face that incorporates the strokes of ballpoint pen or pencil. Developed in collaboration with a textbook publisher, this typeface meets the requirements of textbook faces, such as stroke order or proportion of kana characters, at an excellent level. The typeface consists of two fonts, one intended for vertical setting typically employed in Japanese language or penmanship textbook, and the other for horizontal setting, done in mathematics for example.
