30 Anime Japanese Fonts that are so Cool

The Anime typeface is used to decal stickers of anime series, which is usually used for wallpapers and other decorative purposes. Used to depict animated movies originating from the rich animation culture of Japan, Anime fonts combines hand-drawn art with detailed, stylized illustrations often found in the background artwork of the anime artists. These fonts are made of compressed fonts, which make it easier for the computer to read, and can be saved on the hard drive.

Anime typeface is created to convey the aesthetic sense of the Japanese animation cartoon with its distinctive style and visual elements. A highly versatile typeface, it can be adapted for various purposes such as letterheads, business cards, posters, etc. Since it conveys a non-judgmental and mature aesthetic sense, it is suitable to convey a message of non-verbal communication. In this aspect, the use of Anime font is an excellent choice to express messages in a non-threatening manner, in contrast to the harsh and aggressive aesthetic messages conveyed by other types of fonts.

The existence of an anime typeface dates back to the early 20th century. It was first used on signs in an attempt to emulate the style of Japanese katakana. This typeface was created for all kinds of signage, including business cards, posters, book covers and other decorative purposes. When the Anime style started to gain popularity amongst the middle class, it was soon adopted by other businesses to advertise their products and services in the same way. The popularity of the anime font eventually extended to industrial and fine arts industries, and now it is used extensively in graphics design projects, web pages and letterheads, and even in computer generated texts.
