Japanese Gothic Typeface

Gothic typeface (ゴシック楷書) font is the second most commonly used style of Japanese printing for Kanji. It is somewhat akin to bold sans serif font.

The name "Gothic"

Gothic was an old typographic term for sans serif. It was so named because the type color of early sans serif typefaces were thought to be similar to that of the Gothic script. Nowadays, the term "gothic" is only used in Japan and Korea; in English, the term sans serif is now standard. In Chinese, Gothic typefaces are called "Hei" (black); this is related to the term blackletter, which is synonymous in meaning with Gothic.
