I hope this isn’t too similar to other topics, but what I was thinking for this thread, is that people post screenshots or photos of Japanese writing (signs, packaging, etc.) that use non-standard fonts or calligraphy/handwriting. My thinking is that native Japanese people are able to read these easily, but we poor Japanese learners are often not. So post a picture and your best attempt at deciphering it. Or if you can’t decipher it, others can try. Could be fun?
The middle section here is stylized katakana that reads ショコラ
I find it throws my brain for a real loop whenever shapes that are typically angular are made round.
They are all from the same game yeah. I feel like I’ve definitely seen some of these elements in other fonts outside of this game but it’s the immediate example that comes to mind to me. Most of the fonts tend to be easily readable but sometimes… Out of curiosity I started scrolling through events from previous years and:
What in the name of all that is holy, why?!
It reads 今宵、アナタと謎解きを
I rather like this one though even though it’s not the easiest to read (the kanji in this aren’t all that common and I’m not sure how many WK covers so it might be a bit tricky but it’s: 浪漫絢爛)
Angular shapes being made round.
Round shapes being made angular.
It’s an abomination.
