A Trio of Fonts to Suit Every Need
The update introduces two new fonts alongside the enduring favorite, broadening the appeal and functionality of the set. Parents can now choose a style that best fits their child’s learning stage and personal preference.
-
Kyokashotai (Textbook Font): Ideal for children just beginning to learn characters, this font mirrors the clear, precise style found in Japanese textbooks. It’s a thoughtful addition for parents who wish to reinforce proper letter formation and aid in reading and writing practice.
-
Yasashisa Gothic (Gentle Gothic): For those seeking a softer, more approachable look, the new Yasashisa Gothic offers rounded, friendly characters. It infuses a sense of cuteness into names, perfect for times when decorative name stickers aren’t allowed.
-
Maru Gothic (Rounded Gothic): The classic Maru Gothic, a favorite since the stamp’s debut in 2012, continues to be available. Its high readability and familiar charm make it a versatile choice, allowing families to select different fonts for siblings or based on age.
Adorable New Animal Illustrations Join the Ranks
Adding another layer of personalization, three popular animal designs have been introduced to the illustration stamp lineup: the long-tailed tit (Shimaenaga), seal (Azarashi), and flying squirrel (Momonga). These charming additions allow children who can’t yet read to easily identify their belongings with a unique and cute mark. Imagine the delight on a child’s face seeing a tiny shimaenaga next to their name!
