  1. The Japanese sans-serif typeface at the book cover uses Hiragino Kaku Gothic Old / Hiragino Sans Old (weight used is W7). I couldn’t identify the one in the table of contents though.

  2. Thank you! This variant now has a page. I hope I got the Japanese name for the sample right (ヒラギノ角ゴ オールド). Please let me know if it’s off.
