Shigenobi Fujita

Japanese type designer, b. Fukuoka, 1957. He graduated from the Design Department, Chikuyo Gakuen Senior High School and joined the Type Design Department of Shaken Co., Ltd, a company known for its photocomposers. Since joining Fontworks in 1998, he has produced a variety of typefaces including the Tsukushi series. Fujita received the Tokyo TDC Award for Tsukushi Old Mincho and Tsukushi Round Gothic in 2010. The Tsukushi series has become essential for book and graphic designers. His latest typeface family, Tsukushi Antique, breathes new life into traditional Mincho and Gothic typefaces, giving users a fresh new look and bolstering support for the entire Tsukushi line (quote by Fontworks). He was featured in the NHK television program "Professional" in 2016, and his Fontworks UD fonts won the Silver Award in IAUD Awards 2016. His Tsukushi Series won the type design award at the Tokyo TDC Annual Awards 2018.
