Details of Kaku Typeface
Bachelor of Design with Honours
Kaku is a Hiragana display typeface that is a resource for learners of Japanese. Kaku removes the notion that Hiragana is difficult through the use of clean geometry and a lack of stroke contrast. By indicating stroke direction, Kaku helps learners to retain the characters by understanding how they are written. This is expanded in the booklet and animations with the addition of stroke orders to further develop understanding.
