About Hiragino Sans Rounded Font Family


Hiragino Sans Rounded (Maru Gothic) is derived from the basic design of the Hiragino Sans (Kaku Gothic) with its wide counters and comfortable appearance. It features gentle typeface that provides graceful roundedness to the tips of all the strokes of a character. On the flip side of this gentle impression is the fact that every single element in the Hiragino Sans upon which this typeface is based has been carefully polished down in every respect in pursuit of an elegant roundness that makes it possible to handle carefully executed typesetting. That approach is clearly different from the general rounded typeface that makes full use of the body, and makes it possible to respond the requirement of professional typesetting. It is never-uninteresting design whose letterform is rooted in the traditions of traditional printing type. It is a font that of course can be used on its own and easily formatted just like Hiragino Sans while adding splendid coloring to the page. Furthermore, when used with other Hiragino fonts such as Hiragino Sans or Hiragino Serif (Mincho), the fact that all their designs are oriented on the same vector creates a multiplier effect. The user may be surprised at the sense of unity that cannot be experienced when combining it with other typefaces.

About SCREEN Graphic Solutions

SCREEN began developing the Hiragino font in 1990 for inclusion with its typesetting system as the company was a comprehensive manufacturer of photographic reproduction equipment at that time. SCREEN did not have its own typeface design and decided to develop from scratch. The company favored typefaces completely different from those that had come before. Hiragino Serif (Mincho) and Hiragino Sans (Kaku Gothic) were developed in this way with the design concept “cool and contemporary” but still “orthodox, universally preferable and with excellent readability” . With the successful development of first Hiragino Serif and Sans, SCREEN went on to create the Hiragino Sans Rounded (Maru Gothic), and Universal Design (UD) series, and Hiragino Sans GB (Simplified Chinese) fonts. SCREEN has created numerous typefaces vital to today’s world due to their readability and beauty; they are widely used in a variety of applications, ranging from advertising, publishing, and broadcasting to smartphones, tablets, highway signs, and multilingual signs. Our Hiragino fonts will continue to evolve to keep pace with changes in lifestyles and needs, and we will persist in our quest to develop fonts that will still be used a century from now without losing any of their luster.
