Currently my best loved font is serif font called Bunyumincho S minamo R.

I used Linux mainly now. So I cannot use one year license of font set. I bought one weight only. It is made of JIYUKOBO and make more modern font Hiragino series which is Mac's standard Japanese Font and iOS. But such modern font maker recreate the old style font make modernized is meaningful things. JIYUKOBO company is bought by another font brand called Morisawa.
