Odd MUJI Fonts

071007-mujifont

The image you see above has been used in some messages from MUJI — from their mailing list — and I find the use of font quite strange. They keep the traditional MUJI color, but the font just feels out of place, and old. This is not the first time I see it used, but its always limited to announcements that relate to their webstore.

UpdateI walked by one of the MUJI stores in Ikebukuro earlier today, and they use the same font on a big poster in the outside window.
