Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) To find out affective properties of Japanese characters drawn with different color-font combinations, we examined affective ratings of Japanese Kana characters and numerals presented with a total of 12 combinations from four font types and three colors, using the semantic differential method. From factor analysis of the rating data, we extracted four factors, namely grace, cheerfulness, graveness, and regularity. Each factor reflected different effects of fonts and colors. For example, the grace factor was more dependent on color than fonts. Some of the present results were not consistent with the findings of past studies examining affective properties of Western fonts and of combinations of color and geometrical forms. Reasons for the discrepancy are discussed in the context of previous studies.
