You've seen it in the "mnemonic logos" and splash screens of Adobe's Creative Suite 3 and 4, and perhaps you wondered what that typeface was. After more than 25 years in the type development business, Adobe decided to have its own corporate typeface family. The Creative Suite uses were early versions of a family designed by Robert Slimbach. Now that it's been officially adopted at Adobe, I can tell you about our latest design, called Adobe Clean. There's no plan to make it available for licensing, but you'll be seeing more of it in Adobe materials and products as time goes on.

When the Spring Festival comes, Chinese people have many traditional customs to create a warm and festive atmosphere. One of these customs is to plaster a large ideograph "福" on the door, to wish good fortune and happiness throughout the New Year, and some businesses would like to plaster their rooms with a special character to wish plentiful money and treasures to come in the New Year. This glyph is composed of four characters that are "招財進寳", "財" means money, and "寳"means treasures. Actually, this glyph is not a real or genuine hanzi, and no character set includes it, so we can not enter this glyph directly via standard fonts. Fortunately, SING (Smart INdependent Glyphlets) technology offers us a way to create and use this character. Please follow these DIY (Do It Yourself) instructions for this glyph.

These fonts come in two typeface families, Kozuka Mincho and Kozuka Gothic, and are available in six weights each, ranging from ExtraLight to Heavy. These fonts are special in that they are based on the Adobe-Japan1-6 character collection, are JIS2004- savvy, and included support for Ideographic Variation Sequences. This article will briefly touch upon these three areas.

This blog will contain our thoughts about CCJK Type , DTP applications and Type-related knowledge. We’ll write blogs in English or Chinese, and we‘d like to translate some contents into Japanese or Korean .
