The new fonts include A1 Gothic, Ryumin, and UD Shin Go, empowering Japanese users with an expanded range of typography and creative possibilities


Today, Wix announced a partnership with Morisawa, Japan’s leading typeface maker, to expand the range of Japanese fonts available to Wix users and partners. This collaboration brings 200 new Japanese fonts to the platform, offering enhanced design flexibility and empowering creators in Japan to craft more expressive, localized content.


Through this partnership, Wix users have access to a diverse selection of Japanese fonts designed to suit a wide range of use cases, from professional business applications, books and advertisements to creative and personal projects such as games, comics, anime and YouTube subtitles. The expanded font library includes fonts such as A1 Gothic, Ryumin, and UD Shin Go, among others, ensuring that users have access to the typography they need to express themselves and their brand in the Japanese market. Developed with input from the Japanese local market, this font expansion broadens the scope of expression for designers and creators using Japanese, enabling more engaging web experiences.


“By integrating Morisawa’s high-quality fonts, Wix addresses a long-standing request from its Japanese user base, prioritizing creativity, inclusivity, and a superior web experience for all,” said Hideaki, Country Manager APAC and Japan at Wix. “We are proud to partner with Morisawa, a leader in Japanese typography, to deliver this update to our platform, offering a broader selection of high-quality Japanese fonts to empower our users to express themselves with greater creativity and precision. We look forward to continuing to meet the needs of our community and supporting their online success.”


'We are delighted that this font integration will contribute to an enhanced website creation environment for Wix users," said Akihiko Morisawa, Morisawa's President and CEO. "Website designs and content are diversifying today, and along with this, the importance of font variety is also increasing. By using Morisawa's Japanese web fonts, which are beloved by a wide range of users, especially professional designers, Wix users can further accentuate the individuality of the website and enhance brand images. We hope that they can enjoy and discover the differences in the diverse typographies on Wix's excellent website creation platform."


The new fonts are gradually rolling out to all Wix and Wix Studio users globally.
