Contact Us Inquiries About Hiragino SCREEN Holdings (formerly Dainippon Screen) started to develop the Hiragino fonts in 1990. As a leading manufacturer of photographic reproduction equipment, we had built a wealth of experience with image printing and this led us to initially target visual-rich magazines. Our goal was to create a unique font that was easy to read yet blended smoothly with graphics. Hiragino was finally created in 1993. Designed by Jiyukobo studio, it was simple and sharp with a bright, positive feel. A perfect balance of the orthodox and progressive. The font was quickly embraced by designers working in a wide range of fields. In Japan, Hiragino began to appear in fashion magazines and advertising, car navigation systems, signage, television subtitles, Web to print, medical devices and highway markers and signs. It was also adopted for Mac OS X, the de facto standard for the design world at the time, smartphones, tablets and other digital formats. While Hiragino is clearly versatile, it is the font’s basic design sense that continues to draw praise. In 2005, Hiragino’s visual style was recognized with the receipt of a prestigious Good Design Award in the Communication Design category.
