Rules JP にほん
Neo-grotesque discipline extended into Japanese kana
Rules JP extends the Rules font family with Latin and Japanese kana (hiragana and katakana) support, covering both horizontal and vertical writing systems. The typeface is rooted in Swiss Modern neo-grotesque traditions, characterised by near-zero stroke contrast, closed-edge terminals, squared endings, and optically matched capital widths. It is designed for body text across print, web, and app contexts while remaining functional at display and signage scales.
