Designer's Notes

Kouryuu is a playful sans-serif pixel font recreation based on the original main text font appearing in the SNES video game Kouryuu no Mimi, developed and released by VAP in 1995, and the font used for the inofficial English fan translation of the game.

This font includes a vast selection of additional diacritic variants, the full Japanese hiragana and katakana alphabet sets from the original Japanese version of the game, and many more characters, each one of them designed to match the spirit and style of the original font design.

To recreate the original in-game appearance of this font, I recommend using font sizes that are multiples of 11pt and avoid any anti-aliasing or other font smoothing methods.

Features:

• 649 characters total
• Proportional/monospaced display typeface
• Countless additional special characters, diacritic variants, etc.
• Full original Japanese hiragana and katakana character sets
• Different variants of regular and tiny numbers
