About Zen Maru Gothic

Zen Maru Gothic is a sans serif font designed by Yoshimichi Ohira. Sans serif typefaces omit the small finishing strokes found on serif letters, making them a versatile option for digital interfaces, editorial layouts, headings, and everyday typography. This category works across many design contexts, from concise titles to longer blocks of text.

The family includes Light at weight 300, Regular at weight 400, Medium at weight 500, Bold at weight 700, and Black at weight 900. The supplied style information lists ten entries across these weights. This range gives designers options for establishing hierarchy and adjusting text emphasis within a consistent type family.

Zen Maru Gothic is available in TTF and WOFF2 formats and supports Cyrillic, Greek, and Latin scripts. Its largest supplied font file contains 7,864 glyphs. Preview your own text to compare the available weights and see how the typeface fits your project. The font uses the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which permits commercial use subject to its terms.

Use Zen Maru Gothic 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 Maru Gothic';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3108/bab7612864-zenmarugothic-light.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 300;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3108/a82f7b2fbb-zenmarugothic-regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3108/bbf8e9f682-zenmarugothic-medium.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 500;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3108/1d33914f96-zenmarugothic-bold.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 700;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('https://files.fonts1.com/fonts1/fonts/3108/9d13158502-zenmarugothic-black.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 900;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

Quickest way to try it. For a busy production site, Option B (your own server) is more reliable.

Option B: self-host (download, then upload to your server)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('fonts/ZenMaruGothic-Light.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 300;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('fonts/ZenMaruGothic-Regular.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('fonts/ZenMaruGothic-Medium.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 500;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('fonts/ZenMaruGothic-Bold.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 700;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

@font-face {
  font-family: 'Zen Maru Gothic';
  src: url('fonts/ZenMaruGothic-Black.woff2') format('woff2');
  font-weight: 900;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

2. Apply it

body {

}

Fonts that pair well with Zen Maru Gothic

Good design mixes two or three fonts. These are picked from a different style (a clean sans next to a script, a serif next to a sans) so they stay easy to tell apart and cover the same language.
