Source Han Serif is a modern Mincho-style typeface family, which is a counterpart to Source Han Sans. The family has seven weights. As each font is a Pan-CJK font supporting Japanese, Chinese and Korean, (and for Chinese, both Simplified and Traditional Chinese glyphs including those used in Hong Kong are supported), this typeface is recommended for users who need multilingual fonts. In the case of the Source Han Serif - Pan-CJK Japanese fonts, the glyphs displayed by default are for Japanese, but glyphs for the other languages can also be used in InDesign, Illustrator and Photoshop.
