A list of professional HANKO(professional seal) fonts and popular fonts

There are five main styles of calligraphy for professional HANKO(professional seals):

typeface Features
Kointai A uniquely Japanese font with a rounded and elegant feel
block font The lines are drawn with varying thickness, like those of a calligraphy brush, and each stroke is spaced apart.
Gyosho font A typeface that breaks down regular script with a clear line width like a brush.
Seal font A typeface that can produce a profound and stately impression
Inso body The letters are in contact with the frame, making them easy to read and difficult to counterfeit.

Among the above , the most popular is the Tensho style. Also, since there are many areas where the characters and the HANKO frame are in contact with each other in the Inso style, the HANKO is less likely to chip when it is subjected to impact. It is also a style that is often used for official seals , so if you are unsure which style to choose, try the Tensho style.

Depending on the type of stamp, you can also specify different fonts for the name and job title. For example, you can have the name in seal script and the job title in regular script. The appearance can change dramatically depending on the combination, so if you want to be particular about the design, try making a stamp like this.

Points to note when creating a professional HANKO(professional seal)

There are two things to keep in mind when creating a professional HANKO:

  • Be careful about how you store it
  • Depending on the type of professional, there are regulations on how to create it.

We will explain each one in detail.

Be careful about how you store it

Some HANKO materials, including professional HANKO (professional seals), are sensitive to drying. If you leave them out of HANKO case for a long time, they may dry out and crack or become eaten by insects, so please store them in a case.

Professional HANKO(professional seals) are important HANKO that are used frequently for both important and everyday tasks. Because they are one-of-a-kind HANKO, they need to be treated with care to avoid damage.

To do this, wipe off the oil from the HANKO with a soft cloth after use and place it in a HANKO case. Storing it in a place where the temperature and humidity are unlikely to change will help prevent it from drying out. For ease of handling, we also recommend storing each seal in a separate case, each color-coded.

Depending on the type of professional, there are regulations on how to create it.

Depending on the type of professional, there may be regulations regarding:

  • Engraving content
  • size
  • kinds
  • standard

If you make a professional seal without considering the regulations, you may not be approved and have to make it again. In order to avoid having to do it twice, be sure to check with the organization or professional you belong to before making your professional seal.
