1. History and Origins

The Hiragino series was developed by Jiyukobo Ltd., a type foundry established by motorbike racer-turned-type designer Motoya Akira. The development began in the early 1990s, a period often referred to as the "DTP Revolution," when the Japanese design industry was transitioning from analog phototypesetting to digital desktop publishing.
