What is the Shinano font?
Shinano is an old province of Japan. Kobayashi Issa (1763 – 1828), a famous Japanese Haiku poet and Buddhist priest, was born here. Together with Bashō he is my favourite Haiku poet. Shinano font was hand made using a Japanese brush pen. At first glance it may look like a messy script, but underneath its rough appearance beats a poetic heart.
Comes with some alternates and ligatures and a whole lot of diacritics.

You're probably thinking - Is Shinano available to Download for free?
The short answer is no. Shinano is definitely not available as a free download font. This is a premium font which mean that you will have to pay to download and use it in your project. We showcase fonts on SharedFonts that are almost all premium fonts. Feel free to waste valuable hours of your time searching for a free download of Shinano, but take it from me, you will not be successful in your quest.

It is always best to pay for a premium font rather than trying to find an illegal download. The benefits of paying for Shinano is that you get the license to use it leagally. If you're using an illegal version of Shinano and you get caught, you or your client could get into some trouble legally with the publisher of Shinano.
Also it is highly unlikely that you'll be able to find Shinano for free.

In the rare occasion that you do find a free download for Shinano remember that it's illegal to use a font if you didn't pay for it!
