Morisawa Inc. (hereafter, Morisawa) has started supplying 200 Japanese fonts for Wix.com Ltd. (NASDAQ: WIX), the leading SaaS website builder platform globally¹, including popular fonts such as UD Shin Go, A1 Gothic, and Ryumin, endorsed by many professional designers.
Wix, a leading website builder platform with 282 million users enables anyone from web novices to professionals to easily create professional websites and manage their businesses, thanks to its large selection of templates and intuitive operability.
