Google Fonts · Yoshimichi Ohira · 2022
A warm, brush-inflected Japanese serif that brings a human, calligraphic touch to both Japanese and Latin text.
About
Yuji Mai sits within the Mincho tradition but softens its characteristic high contrast with brushwork-inspired details that feel handcrafted rather than mechanical. It supports Cyrillic alongside Japanese and Latin, broadening its multilingual appeal. It works well in literary, cultural, and editorial contexts where a refined but personal tone is desired.
Classification
Yuji Mai is a Japanese serif typeface with soft, brush-influenced strokes that give it a warmth uncommon in typical Mincho-style fonts. The Latin characters are carefully harmonised with the Japanese glyphs, sharing a gentle calligraphic quality.
