Hi

I've been trying to learn Hiragana/Katakana for a while now. The next step for me is to get at least "decent" (as in people can actually recognize the letters) in writing.

My problem is, there seem to be few different fonts floating around.

Maru-moji
Kaisho
Mincho

are the ones that I know of, but I guess there are few more..

My question is, which one should I focus on? As far as I know, Mincho is used for printed material as in books, newspapers etc, Maru-moji is the one seen in mangas (rounded letters) and Kaisho is the brush-written font.

Personally, I love the Kaisho font, seeing as I'm a huge fan of Shodo, the art of Japanese Caligraphy, but there is no way that I can write like that with a pen.

PS:I will give Shodo a shot whenever I have the chance, but I want to learn the basics first.
