But I must explain to you how all this mistaken idea of reprobating pleasure and extolling pain arose. To do so, I will give you a complete account of the system, and expound the actual teachings of the great explorer of the truth, the master-builder of human happiness. No one rejects, dislikes, or avoids pleasure itself, because it is pleasure, but because those who do not know how to pursue pleasure rationally encounter consequences that are extremely painful.

Nor again is there anyone who loves or pursues or desires to obtain pain of itself, because it is pain, but because occasionally circumstances occur in which toil and pain can procure them some great pleasure.

Kobodaishi is a digital interpretation and expansion of the Electra type family, originally designed by W.A. Dwiggins. Unlike other digital adaptations of Electra, Kobodaishi offers a range of size-specific variants, from Micro to Display. As with the original Electra family, it includes both oblique and cursive forms of italics, and maintains consistent ‘multiplexed’ glyph widths between weights and postures, allowing for stylistic changes (e.g. between Regular, Bold, Oblique, and Italic) without affecting set-width or causing text reflow. The gradations between each weight are subtle to allow for fine-tuning in the density of paragraph text.
