    jf open-huninn is an open-source Traditional Chinese Rounded Typeface developed by justfont. It is designed specifically for Taiwanese typographic needs, building upon the Japanese open-source font Kosugi Maru and the Latin font *Varela Round$.

    • Glyph Expansion: Includes over 2,700 characters and symbols, covering frequently used Traditional Chinese characters, Bopomofo (Zhuyin) symbols, and Taiwanese Hokkien (Tai-lo) Romanization characters.

    • Taiwanese Typesetting Standards: Punctuation has been repositioned to be centered within the grid, conforming to Traditional Chinese typesetting conventions rather than Japanese standards.
