“Designing readability in complex. Approaching multi-readability”
The problems occur in reading/comprehending Japanese is not because you are non-native. With its unique feature involving 3 different scripts multiple by two directions of typesetting multiple by co-existing with other scripts multiple by innumerable combinations of all, it could cause poor judgment in certain situation, poor readability for person with low vision or dyslexia, confusion for foreigners.
Morisawa is keen and focus on developing typefaces to lead every people to better life.
