Japan Typography Annual 2026 (Japanese)

First launched in 1969 as the Japan Lettering Almanac, this year’s edition is the 47th volume. This book presents 481 works that have been carefully selected by a panel of 13 judges from a total of 2,101 entries. With works from all over the world, judges chosen from association members and the previous year’s Grand Prix winner conducted a rigourous evaluation process to select one Grand Prix winner from all of the entries, along with a “Best Work Award” in each category. This book offers an overview of the latest trends in typography through the 10 categories, including typefaces, logotypes and symbols, visual identity (VI), graphics, editorial, research and experimentation and more. This year’s Grand Prix winner was selected specifically from the VI category from over 2,100 entries. A record breaking 1,138 entries were received in the logo category, and many outstanding works from this category are featured in this book.
