Japanse type

Japanese Grid Type- this type is a freehand brush type that utilizes a grid , however the type is not organized by grid restraint  but rather by centering the "whole" of the character on an axis.

The typeface is very bold , to me this indicates a serious or possibly playful nature to it, depending on the context and what its used for. I find it so interesting because the cultural difference between kanji and the greek alphabet is so vast. It's interesting to me to view them visually rather than "reading" them.
This is influencing my work a lot right now because i am focusing on type that serves a visual purpose and communicates something other than what it literally reads.
