Adobe has added Neokuro, an Adobe Originals typeface by Taisei Yoshida, to Adobe Fonts. It is a super-bold Japanese design with softly rounded corners and small Mincho-derived details, covering kanji, kana and Latin. Its styles let kana and Latin be compressed to half width while kanji stay square, for titles, posters and video thumbnails.
half-width kana alongside square kanji is a smart answer to cramped Japanese headlines, and the target uses, posters and video thumbnails, are well chosen.
