木 (ko), 漏れ (more), and 日 (bi): “to the sunlight shining through the trees.” The typography is elegant and functional: Mango Display is used as a main display typeface, whose beautiful ligatures correspond to Toppan Bunkyu Mincho as the Japanese Kanji typeface. With IBM Plex Sans, the body copy feels modern and minimal, easy to read at a small scale and doesn’t take the attention from the other typefaces.
