DNP

Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd. (DNP) is one of the largest comprehensive printing companies in the world. We provide a variety of products and services in a wide range of business fields to consumers and some 30,000 corporate clients in Japan and around the globe. DNP's main strengths are the printing and information technologies that it has cultivated since its founding in 1876. The Company has used these technologies to branch out from book, magazine and commercial printing into diverse fields including packaging, decorative materials, display components and electronic devices, and has developed many products for which it holds the world's largest market share. DNP's original typeface "Shueitai" is one of them. In preparation for the changes that will inevitably come during the next one hundred years, since 2006 DNP launched a major project for renewing the Shueitai designs. And since 2009 we have licensed out our digital fonts to Desk Top Publishing(DTP), e-book viewer, word processing software and many uses.
