ABOUT
SHOTYPE is a design production based in Tokyo for Logotype design, Package design, Corporate Identity, Information design and Latin & Japanese customized font. We have a great network for making works featured Japanese type design and typography. So, if you have any question about Japanese typeface and type design, feel free to ask to below address.
What is SHOTYPE? The name “SHOTYPE” is a coined word that combined 書体: sho-tai which means “typeface” in Japanese, and “type[taip].” Besides, “sho” is the same pronunciation as 書: sho, which means Calligraphy in Japanese.
When I started this foundry, I thought my foundry’s name should have Japanese meaning and sense. I would like to make fonts which can be used all over the world.
