Companies Using TypeSquare

I run the crawler behind these numbers. For TypeSquare, a domain counts when a page loads a script from typesquare.com or from webfonts.sakura.ne.jp, Sakura Internet's edition. Our October 2026 crawl finds 15,427 domains, 1,427 of them matched to a company, 11th in Font Services with 0.08%. That's a small number for a global category and a meaningful one for Japan, where nearly all of these sites are. TypeSquare's script address carries an account ID, so I can also count who holds the account.

Five editions carry most of it

We captured the script address on 13,199 of the domains. Sakura Internet's edition is on 4,273. Then four shared accounts: ConoHa WING's on 2,109 (its WordPress plugin hard-codes the ID), Jimdo's on 1,842, STORES' on 1,426 and one on 993 domains whose sites sit on GMO's お名前.com rental servers. Together that's about 80% of what we can trace. A smaller shared account, 158 domains, belongs to ferret One, a B2B site builder. The other 2,305 domains sit under about 1,090 IDs, the closest we can get to a count of Morisawa's direct accounts. Xserver bundles TypeSquare too, with a plugin on 100,000+ WordPress sites, but it loads from Xserver's own server, so we count it as Xserver Font Service.

Sales signal: on most TypeSquare sites the font licence is part of a hosting or builder plan. The site owner switched on a perk. Sell to the host, or sell the site owner something the host doesn't include.

A service in wind-down

Morisawa announced on 23 July 2025 that TypeSquare would stop new sign-ups and new plan purchases on 25 November 2025 and stop renewals on 30 November 2027. No new typefaces will be added. The successor is Morisawa Fonts, whose web-font plans include Web Font Pro for sites above 48 million pageviews a year. The hosts still advertise their bundles: Sakura Internet's and お名前.com's pages list 33 TypeSquare fonts free with hosting.

"TypeSquare's direct customers have a deadline. About a thousand account IDs we can see will need a new font contract by November 2027." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: the companies with their own TypeSquare ID are a migration list with a fixed end date. Morisawa wants them on Morisawa Fonts; every other Japanese font service and agency can compete for the same renewal.

Reading the chart

The chart reads 11,895 in August, 15,342 in September and 15,427 in October. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and new ones added, and our detection widens too. TypeSquare stopped taking new members ten months before the jump, so I read the 3,447-domain step as ours. 509 domains have dropped TypeSquare from a hostname since 4 August 2026, and in a re-check 127 of them still loaded it elsewhere on the domain.

Sales signal: expect the direct-account base to shrink toward the 2027 renewal cut-off. Timing outreach to the months before a site's renewal makes more sense than chasing growth.

Who holds their own account

The matched companies are a thin slice, 9.25% of domains, and the named ones lean to firms with their own accounts. 36.22% of those with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 30.39% have 11 to 50, a much flatter spread than the 66.07% at 1 to 10 on the Google Font API profile. 35 have more than 1,000 staff. LIXIL, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Sekisui House, Bridgestone, Nissin Foods and Toridoll each load TypeSquare under their own ID. Eight named sites, including TV Tokyo's advertising-sales site, MC Digital Realty and President's training institute, share ferret One's account instead, because they're built on it. 35.78% of matched companies were founded before 1990.

Sales signal: the large companies here that load TypeSquare under their own ID bought it directly, so they are the accounts the 2027 cut-off affects.

Japan, and only Japan

1,288 of the 1,427 matched companies are Japanese. The United States has 31 and the United Kingdom 5, and several of those are Japanese brands with a company record abroad, such as FUJIFILM's ink business. By industry, Wholesale leads at 7.29% and IT Services follows at 6.24%, but no sector holds even one company in 13.

Sales signal: treat TypeSquare as a Japanese-market signal. A TypeSquare site cares how its Japanese text looks, which matters to anyone selling Japanese localisation, design or web services.

Fonts side by side

8,984 TypeSquare domains also load Google Font API, 3,601 Font Awesome and 342 Adobe Fonts. Over 94% of the domains ever seen with TypeSquare and any of those still run both, so these sites layer fonts rather than switch.

"More than half of TypeSquare's domains load Google's font API next to it, 8,984 in all. A site that loses TypeSquare already has a second font source in place." - Mehmet Suleyman, CEO & Co-founder at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales signal: a replacement for TypeSquare has to cover Japanese text; most of these sites already have a second font source.

The stack around it

Across the 15,415 clean live domains, WordPress runs on 58.05% and Jimdo on 14.1%. Google Analytics is on 71.27% and Site Kit on 10.76%. Cookie Control, on 14.14%, is the only consent tool above 3%.

Sales signal: most TypeSquare sites are small WordPress or Jimdo sites running Google Analytics, an easy profile for Japanese WordPress agencies to work with.

What it costs

TypeSquare's price page still lists a free plan of 1,000 pageviews a month, Standard I at ¥2,750 a month and Standard II at ¥5,500 a month, tax included, but new purchases closed on 25 November 2025. On hosting plans, the fonts come free.

Key takeaways

1. 15,427 domains, almost all Japanese, 11th in a global Font Services category.

2. About 80% of traceable domains get TypeSquare through Sakura Internet, ConoHa WING, Jimdo, STORES or お名前.com.

3. Roughly a thousand direct account IDs, the market that must move by November 2027.

4. Xserver's edition is counted separately as Xserver Font Service.

5. TypeSquare runs beside Google's font API on 8,984 domains.
