to keep these three types of stroke endings in mind, observing how the strokes of the gray-tinted characters terminate.
In Japanese, as in English, there are many differences between handwritten and typeset characters. To enable students to gain the correct feel for written Japanese, educators in Japan have developed a neutral typeface which incorporates the features of handwritten Japanese without the stylistic idiosyncracies of any individual.
This typeface is known simply as Schoolbook or Kyokasho, and is the standard typeface used to teach Japanese schoolchildren the written language. All of the practice characters in this book are set in Kyokasho.
To provide familiarity with a range of type variations, each character entry in this book is accompanied by four different character styles, as shown below. These variations are included for recognition only.
The upper left variation is a bold Mincho typeface while the upper right variation is a bold Gothic typeface. Typefaces of this kind are frequently used in advertisements and newspaper headlines.
The lower left typeface simulates the characters written with a ballpoint pen, while the lower right typeface is a thin brush script indicative of that used on traditional occasions.
