Kimidori Mugcup is a Japanese digital font. It is part of the early-2000s pixel and indie font aesthetic. Designer: Created by an indie designer known as “Charlie”. Origin Shop: Released through the Caramel Syrup Font Shop. Release Year: Distributed in 2002. Style: Classification is a grid/bitmap font.
Character Set: Includes Latin characters and Japanese Kana (Hiragana and Katakana). Meaning of the Name The name combines two everyday Japanese words:
Kimidori (黄緑): Translates to “yellow-green” or chartreuse.
Mugcup (マグカップ): The Japanese loanword for a standard coffee mug. Visual Aesthetic
It mimics early internet and video game displays. Each character is mapped to a strict pixel grid. This gives it a blocky, retro, and cute look common in Japanese web design from the early 2000s.
The font can still be found on archival typography sites like CDNFonts for retro design projects.
If you are trying to find a physical yellow-green mug rather than the typeface, let me know! I can help you search for kitchenware brands instead. Caramel Syrup Font Shop – Luc Devroye
