> I'm also looking to match the brush strokes without investing in a brush haha.

Most Japanese people write Japanese using the same shitty pencils and pens everyone else does all over the world. You don't really use a brush or fude pen unless you're doing calligraphy.

Well, if you're looking specifically to learn how to read real-life handwriting out in the real world, there is no "font" that will help you. What you should instead focus on is learning how characters are actually written, because handwriting is a very fluid and living thing, especially in a script like Japanese. I've written a considerable amount about this issue on this very sub in the past, but it basically boils down to this simple fact: having an intimate knowledge of how kana and kanji components are written will help you read natural handwriting considerably. Specifically, this means understanding the stroke order and general form of these characters. For kanji, this doesn't necessarily mean you have to memorize the precise stroke order of every character you learn; instead, what you need to be able to do is mentally break characters down into "component radicals". What I would suggest doing is looking into getting a good fude pen and start practicing writing hiragana, katakana and kanji radicals BY THEIR STROKE ORDER, and really play around with writing them as smoothly and gracefully as possible without worrying about how "correct" they look according to whatever diagram you're looking at. With a fude pen, you have the added benefit of being able to easily see how strokes can "slur" together, which is an enormous part of Japanese handwriting and is kind of on its own a hurdle to overcome in terms of being able to read the writing system.

Chinese handwriting, interestingly enough, tends to be much more intensely hard to decipher. This is partly because Chinese people only have the option of writing in hanzi (kanji), so they have developed a much wider array of "shorthand" forms for characters/radicals that speed up the process of handwriting, whereas Japanese can be written primarily with hiragana, which is much faster to write.

Now, if we're talking about something like this, then forget about it - no one is expected to be able to read that shit.
