I guess you could say that, but I didn't design this myself, credit goes to the folks at Monotype and Morisawa, all I did was condense the kana a little. I've been considering designing my own doe

Yeah, a problem is that it starts making them look less aesthetically consistent. What are you taking as inspiration to designing your own?

When you further compact symbols (or letters) to make them equally fit within a confined space, the lines and curves within start looking more off from the other symbols (or letters).

Make all your fonts comic sans to spite typologist spergs

 

[Goot]

They were already all the same width doe.

He means the font type used on old typewriters because it was mechanically difficult to vary the space letters occupied

The kana characters I used were already originally designed as monospaced, that's why they may look a little off to you, they designed them to fill all space. so what I attempted was to shorten the width by about 12% and reduce the side bearings for 小さいkana（ゃ、ゅ、ょetc）, did this in cracked FontLab 8, it took way longer than I thought because the stupid damn program would make tiny little gaps onto each loop intersection of a character if I shortened its width through the Actions menu, which I then had to manually close all the gaps, doing it for all glyphs took about a month, honestly I probably shouldn't have wasted so much effort on this stupid shit. This is sort of my half-assed attempt at a proportional variant of TypeLaboN/ShinGo (which is originally monospaced)
