<<Rewrite and organize this description>> You can officially download the font at https://www.nisfont.co.jp/dl_font/fontdata_single_tt.html (but you will also need to download the associated installer at https://www.nisfont.co.jp/dl_font/installer.html ). Windows or Mac only. BUT, you obviously need to live in Japan to have acquired a license. Four of the text samples containing this font were taken from a selection of @elinery's Deviations. April 4, 2024. Added the project to Emmett's Font Studio. I have an assumption this could be easier to identify than the unidentified merchandising font. Added the "Kazuho" letters that are from the Kill Me Baby manga volume cover. April 5, 2024. Yesterday I searched through multiple free font websites and blog posts and this specific font was not listed or available. This now means that it is more of a commercially distributed typeface. April 6, 2024. Checked through a 9-font pack on dA and all of the Japanese fonts on fontmeme.com. This specific font was not there either. Not finding much luck with online searching, I will now turn to likefont (the same method that has been used to find the Samsung Imagination brand font) with Eli's text samples The font is identified! I used the identification tool and pasted each of the kana that corresponds to each glyph. Eli uses the fixed-width version of this typeface (something I forgot to take care of on discovery). May 27, 2024. That was not the proportional (variable width) version! It seems that I have switched up my definitions... Among the three Japanese fonts that I have found here, none of them can be found on freejapanesefont.com or catalog.monotype.com/language/japanese. For this one I also checked through fontdasu.com (barring the Mincho section) and also did not find this font. The font used for glyph sources is provided by Samsung (if it is not installed, then it will be displayed in Serif).
