The Anatomy of a Typeface
By FontSide · June 2026
Every typeface is a system of decisions — about stroke contrast, x-height, spacing, and rhythm. The best ones feel invisible: you stop seeing the letters and start hearing the voice behind them. That transparency is the hardest thing to design.
A high x-height opens up the counters and makes small text breathe. Tight tracking pulls a headline together; loose tracking gives a caption room to exhale. None of these choices are accidents — they are arguments about how reading should feel.

/* Please select at least one weight and style */ Background & Story
M+ FONTS is a little nifty font family for everyday usage. Mplus U is a Sans Serif font with nine weights from Thin to Black, supporting 5,700+ Kanjis for Japanese with GF Latin Plus. To further enhance visibility, legibility, and readability, the internal spaces of the glyphs are designed to be wider and maximize the size of the voiced/semi-voiced sound mark on the kana characters. This font is intended for use in UIs, and as an accessible/readability font (UD font). As a side effect, this font has a very cute appearance :-)
