What DesignPocket is
DesignPocket is a font sales site operated by Imagenavi Inc., based in Sapporo, Japan. Its catalog contains more than 32,000 font items, including offerings from major makers and harder-to-find typefaces. Most fonts are sold individually, though some are available only in multi-font sets. Purchases are generally ready to download and use immediately; some annual-license products may require additional setup. The site offers individual purchases, annual font licenses from makers, and server-font licenses from some makers. Annual licenses provide access to a maker’s fonts for one year, with selection and terms varying by product.

The site lists payment by card, PayPay, convenience store, bank transfer, or business invoice. A listed annual plan, 昭和書体・白舟書体 年間ライセンス, costs ¥19,800 a year and includes 141 typefaces.
