About Morita

This hybrid display typeface is a reinterpretation of Minoru Morita’s 1972 typeface Rain Drops, discovered in a U&lc interview with the artist in which he cites karate & cartoons in the 60s as his biggest design influences.

Morita comes in Regular & Bold with several stylistic alternates. One pushes beyond the original concept by closing the apertures of most letters and numbers, while the others set all apertures free, leaving behind any remnant of serifs. Stylistic sets four & five amplify Morita’s sci-fi vibe with horizontal finials and “comet” Os.

Feel free to play with the many symbols, halftone patterns & movement lines, which nod to the comic book inspiration of Morita.
