About Zen Kaku Gothic Antique

Zen Kaku Gothic Antique is a sans-serif typeface designed by Yoshimichi Ohira. Sans-serif typefaces have letterforms without decorative strokes at their ends, making them useful for a variety of digital and print designs. This family offers five weights to help establish visual hierarchy and adapt text to different layout requirements.

The available styles are Light (300), Regular (400), Medium (500), Bold (700), and Black (900). These options can suit body copy, headings, navigation labels, and other text elements, depending on the weight selected and the needs of the design. The typeface supports Latin and Cyrillic scripts, allowing it to be used for text written in languages that use these writing systems.

This release is available in TTF format. Zen Kaku Gothic Antique is distributed under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits commercial use subject to its terms. Preview the different weights to compare their appearance and choose a style for your next typography project.

Use Zen Kaku Gothic Antique on your website

Copy the CSS below. Option B needs the font files uploaded to a fonts/ folder on your own server first.

Option A: use the font directly from Fonts1 (no upload needed)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Kaku Gothic Antique';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3104/4274daa443-zenkakugothicantique-light.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 300;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Kaku Gothic Antique';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3104/63b47bb59c-zenkakugothicantique-regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Kaku Gothic Antique';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3104/b1a8f69538-zenkakugothicantique-medium.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 500;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Kaku Gothic Antique';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3104/ba80a2ed3d-zenkakugothicantique-bold.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 700;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

  font-family: 'Zen Kaku Gothic Antique';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3104/a002073c68-zenkakugothicantique-black.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 900;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}
