Morisawa Fonts is a subscription service for finding and using licensed multilingual fonts on web and desktop. Its library contains more than 3,500 typefaces from Morisawa Group and other foundries, with coverage stated for more than 150 languages. Users can organize fonts into collections, share them and synchronize them across two computers. Online activation works with the Desktop Manager application to install fonts on a computer. Multi-license subscribers can manage team use through the Admin Console. The Free Plan provides five fonts selected by Morisawa, while the Standard Plan permits trademark registration for logotypes made with its fonts; the free plan does not. Standard costs 64240.00 JPY per year for one license. Desktop Manager supports Windows 11 version 23H2 or later and macOS 12 or later. Fonts work with common software, but applications that directly access font files may not provide them.
