Here we overview the M+ OUTLINE FONTS and their weight variations, which feature proportional and fixed-halfwidth Latin, fixed-fullwidth Japanese character set.
M+ P is aimed as sophisticated and relaxed design, while M+ C is optimized to be proportioned well in typesetting. Each have 2 variations: Type-1 (M+ P Type-1, M+ C Type-1) are intended to use with M+ 1 Japanese glyphs; Type-2 (M+ P Type-2, M+ C Type-2) has several altenative glyphs different from Type-1 to match with the design of M+ 2 Japanese glyphs.
M+ M emphasize the balance of natural letterform and high legibility. while M+ MN is aimed at a new distinctive design for a terminal font specialized to programming. There are 3 variations: M+ M Type-1 and M+ MN Type-1 are intended to use with M+ 1 Japanese glyphs; M+ M Type-2 has several altenative glyphs different from Type-1 to match with the design of M+ 2 Japanese glyphs.
The M+ OUTLINE FONTS have 2 Kana variation: M+ 1 is unique in the contrast of straight lines and hand-drawn curves; M+ 2 takes in some traditional feature of Kana script in the overall modern sans-serif design. These 2 Kanas share the common design of Kanji glyphs.
Latin and Japanese glyphs shown above are combined into the 7 families: 4 combinations of proportinal font families (M+ 1P, M+ 2P, M+ 1C, M+ 2C) and 3 combinations of fixed-width font families (M+ 1M, M+ 2M, M+ 1MN) are included.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 1 for Japanese and proportional M+ P Type-1 for alphabets. They are 7 weights from Thin to Black.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 2 for Japanese and proportional M+ P Type-2 for alphabets. They are 7 weights from Thin to Black.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 1 for Japanese and proportional M+ C Type-1 for alphabets. They are 7 weights from Thin to Black.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 2 for Japanese and proportional M+ C Type-2 for alphabets. They are 7 weights from Thin to Black.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 1 for Japanese and fixed-halfwidth M+ M Type-1 for alphabets. They are 5 weights from Thin to Bold.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 2 for Japanese and fixed-halfwidth M+ M Type-2 for alphabets. They are 5 weights from Thin to Bold.
The combination of fixed-fullwidth M+ 1 for Japanese and fixed-halfwidth M+ MN Type-1 for alphabets. They are 5 weights from Thin to Bold.
