Futene is a free handwriting Japanese font created by an artist by the name of “Ikarinohi“. He/she created this font mainly is for own usage, however it has been released for free for everyone to download. The font style inherits the handwriting characteristics of the creator, a readable but yet not bound to the rigidness of the font design. But I do see some inconsistencies of the characters where some are more free form while some are tidier. Well when comes to creativity, who said it needs to be consistent all the time?

Futene comes with two font styles, with one with thicker weight. The font comes with roughly about 2000+ kanji characters, where unsupported characters will be replaced by the tofu character. You may download to try right now, however the creator mentioned in the post that he/she will be improving and updating the font soon. You may want to check back later for future update. The font is free to be used on commercial projects too.
