Story behind project

Huninn (粉圓), which means tapioca in Taiwanese, is Taiwan's beloved unique flavor.

After the successful crowdfunding of the Jin Xuan (金萱) typeface in 2015, we committed to release a new open-source work for Taiwanese users.

To meet the usage and typographic needs of Taiwan, we have added nearly 2,700 commonly used Taiwanese characters, Bopomofo symbols, and even Taiwanese Hokkien phonetic and Chinese characters to the original Kosugi Maru. Besides characters, our designers have also revised the typographic settings and improved the font’s quality for more beautiful.

In summary, jf open-huninn includes the following changes:

  • Stroke Redesign: Adjustments and corrections to the uneven stroke thickness of the original characters.
  • Typographic Adjustments: Changed from Japanese punctuation marks in Kosugi Maru to traditional Chinese punctuation marks used in Taiwan.
  • Character Additions: Added nearly 2,700 commonly used Taiwanese characters and Taiwanese Hokkien characters, along with newly designed Bopomofo and Taiwanese phonetic symbols.

食粉圓,拜樹頭

在 2015 年的「金萱字型」成功募資後,justfont 便承諾以既有開源字型為基礎進行調整,為臺灣的使用者釋出一套新的開源作品。

在此,我們特別感謝日本 MOTOYA 公司開源旗下的「小杉圓體」(Kosugi Maru, 小杉丸ゴシック)字型、美國設計師 Joe Prince 與以色列設計師 Avraham Cornfeld 開源 Varela Round 字體,因為你們的貢獻與付出,我們才能站在前人的肩膀上,惠及後人;更要感謝的是,所有金萱募資案的贊助者在 2015 年對我們的支持,jf open 粉圓是你們獻給臺灣的禮物!

古椎得人疼 ê 臺灣口味

針對臺灣的使用與排版需求,justfont 於小杉圓體原有的日文字型基礎上,增補了臺灣常用字、注音符號,甚至增加了臺客語拼音與漢字,以適應臺灣的使用需求。除了字符之外,設計師們也修訂排版設定、改進了原有字體的灰度品質,讓你的排版更為美麗!

大致來說,新的「jf open 粉圓」字型有以下變動:

  • 筆形設計:針對原本字符筆畫粗細不均勻、佈局未盡理想的狀況進行調整與修正。
  • 排版調整:「小杉圓體」原為日文字型標點符號設計,「jf open 粉圓」則改為繁體中文標點符號設置。
  • 增補字符:補齊日文字型中不包含的臺灣常用漢字與臺客語漢字,共近 2,700 餘字,並另外設計注音符號與臺客拼音符號。

關於 justfont

justfont 官方網站: https://justfont.com

字體不但佔據閱讀的目光,也引導了生活中的每個決定。字體更構築了城市街道的風景,是關乎美感,最重要的視覺纖維。在人人都能用字型的時代,更能透過方便的科技,將專家職人的心血結晶應用在生活中。

可惜,臺灣長期以來,不論學院或產業,字體都未能得到足夠關注,也缺乏深度耕耘。不僅導致設計從業者能力斷層,一般民眾也對每日都會用到的字體缺乏認識。長久以往,街道上充斥不易理解、不甚美觀的字體排印。版權觀念薄弱,盜版盛行,更導致字型廠商在消費端無立足之地,紛紛轉型或外移。如此負向循環,讓臺灣的「文字風景」難以起色。

justfont 相信字體的價值,更相信好的字體能啟發社會。除了細心栽培一筆一劃,我們更願做字體推廣教育的先行者、教育者與輔導者,致力於培育臺灣下一代的設計力量。從基礎建設與教育開始,提升臺灣的美學環境。邀請您一起來,創造更好的文字風景。
