## Font Details

Otomanopee is a Japanese display typeface designed by a creator working under the Gutenberg-Labo organization. The design was inspired by the graphical lettering style used for onomatopoeia in manga. The author had been drawing in this style since her teenage years and later formalized it into a font distributed under an open source license starting in 2007. The name derives from a childhood misspelling of "onomatopoeia" as "otomanopoeia."

The Google Fonts version ships a single static TTF: `OtomanopeeOne-Regular.ttf`, sourced from `fonts/ttf/` in the upstream repository.
