With this addition, Monotype's European fonts will be added to the 7 basic Morisawa fonts, Hiragino, Toppan Bunkyu, Shueitai, and Tsukushi fonts, which are currently provided by FONTPLUS, and approximately 1,800 fonts. It has become the best web font service in Japan that can be used as web fonts. In the future, we will continue to expand the fonts that Monotype owns, and ultimately plan to cover approximately 20,000 fonts. In line with the addition of the font, the FONTPLUS official website has been renewed, and on the top page we have added information such as ``Compare multiple fonts, create samples for use in headings and body text, share samples with related parties, and share on SNS.'' It is equipped with functions that speedily support a series of font selection tasks for web designers and confirmations with related parties. We have also abolished the membership fee and will only provide license fees.

Regarding this business partnership and the addition of typefaces, we received comments from Mr. Fuminobu Sato of Monotype Co., Ltd.

“We hope that through this business partnership with SoftBank Technology Corp., Monotype's premium typeface library will have even more opportunities to attract the attention of Japanese global companies and creative people. We hope that this partnership will not only complement each other's areas of weakness, but also raise the level of the digital content market, including the web."
