This page describes scripts which compose M+ outline fonts with each weight variations:
Japanese text (fixed width), Latin (proportional width and fixed width).

Japanese text (monospaced)

M+ have two kana (かな) variation: M+ 1 is unique in the contrast of straight lines and
hand-drawn curves; M+ 2 takes in some traditional feature of kana script in the overall
modern sans-serif design. These two kana designs share the common design of kanji (漢字)
characters.

Proportional Latin alphabet

M+ P is aimed as clear and free form; M+ C is optimized to tight and coherent text.
Each have two variations: Type-1 (M+P Type-1, M+C Type-1) are intended to be used with
the Japanese letters of M+1; Type-2 have several glyphs different from Type-1 to match
with the design of the Japanese letters of M+2.

Fixed width Latin alphabet

M+ M emphasize the balance of natural letterform and high legibility. M+ MN is aimed
at a new distinctive design for a terminal font specialized to programming. There are
three variations: M+ M Type-1 and M+MN Type-1 are for combination with M+1-type Japanese
and M+2 has several altenative glyphs to be used with M+2-type Japanese.
