Nikkei

Try it

Nikkei is a tribute to Japanese immigration to America through typography, honoring the stories of Japanese immigrants and their descendants. “Nikkei” refers to Japanese individuals and their descendants who live outside Japan. Five typographic systems were made, each expressing unique concepts, yet all interlaced by a common historical narrative. The inspiration came from various sources, including hand-lettered on ships; newspapers of the Nikkei communities; Japanese family crests. Offering versatile title fonts whose proportions and stylistic alternatives allow for playful options for title compositions
