Gothic Japanese typefaces The Japanese "gothic" typefaces (gosshiku) are equivalent to the Latin sans-serif typefaces. Typically, strokes have a uniform width and do not have any decorations. There are two main categories, the standard gothic and the maru (= round) gothic, which is a style in which the ends of the lines are rounded off. Maru gothic is the typeface used in Japanese road signs.	EXTERNAL LINKS MyFonts search Monotype search Fontspring search Google search INTERNAL LINKS Type design in Japan ⦿
