R.P.G. Katakana

by Akihiro

R.P.G. Katakana is a heavy, blocky display face by Akihiro that draws its visual language from Japanese katakana letterforms, translating their angular geometry into a bold Latin character set. The squared-off strokes and rigid proportions give it an unmistakably gaming-oriented personality, the kind of type you'd expect on a JRPG title screen or retro game packaging. Best used at large sizes for headlines and branding where you want that distinct intersection of futuristic weight and Japanese typographic influence.
