Tokyo foundry Type Project has released TP Silver, a Japanese serif family that brings the sharp, stiff strokes and pronounced terminals of Song-style type into a Mincho structure. It comes in seven weights from Ultra Light to Heavy, with 9,539 characters based on Adobe-Japan1-3 and a Latin with serifs inspired by stone carving. It is available through the TP Connect subscription and as a web font via REALTYPE.
a credible alternative to the standard Mincho is rare; seven weights, from hairline display to text sizes, suggest it is built for real editorial work.
