Description

Type designer Kaihatsu joins to chat about Nintendo fonts! We explore how Nintendo utilizes typography in their games, the surprising NHK/Wii connection, and the joys of Pop Happiness. Plus, I take a look at Kirby Star-Crossed World and Hello, Mario!

Small correction: The Japanese version of Super Mario Galaxy uses the Rodin Maria font.
