Kuretake Meiseki is an old-style sans serif type that combines the Meiseki and Kuretake typefaces. Meiseki is a kanji type inspired by the characters inscribed on the epitaph of Wang Xingzhi in the Jin dynasty (265–420) excavated in the suburbs of China's Nanjing City in 1965. Kuretake is a kana typeface designed based on the characters from the type specimen Kappan Soran published in 1933 by Morikawa Ryobundo Type Foundry in Japan. The style of Kuretake Meiseki is based on the Chinese clerical script reisho with a touch of engraving, creating a nostalgic and simple charm.
