Company Performance Metrics
- Ryo Kikuchi: Chief Innovation Director
Akihiko Morisawa: CEO, President
Morisawa is passionate about fonts and type—the most basic building blocks of words—and is constantly forging ahead with the creation of innovative new typefaces. As Japan’s premier type foundry, Morisawa has a long-standing history of supporting and shaping the typographic culture of Asian languages. For graphic, web, and other design
professionals in Japan, the name "Morisawa" is virtually synonymous with "font." Morisawa’s history dates back to 1924 with the invention of Japan’s first phototypesetting machine. Since then we have created a number of innovative products related to letters to become the leading type foundry in Japan. With a portfolio of over 3000 fonts, Morisawa knows the typeface needs of not only the Japanese language but also other East Asian languages.
