What is the best Chinese font?
The most popular Chinese web-safe fonts:
- Heiti fonts: Hiragino Sans GB (冬青黑体简体中文) Microsoft Yahei (微软雅黑) Simhei (黑体)
- Songti fonts: Simsun (宋体) (most screens are still non-Retina, so it’s much safer for designers to use Heiti fonts)
What is the most common Chinese font?
Sim Sun is the number one widely used Chinese font. Its popularity is largely due to the fact that it is the default Chinese input font in Windows. Song Ti is probably the earliest Chinese font used in China, tracing back to the Song Dynasty (960-1279) when printing technology was flourishing.
How many Chinese fonts are there?
For traditional Chinese, used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, the number of glyphs is 13,053. An experienced designer, working alone, can in under six months create a new font that covers dozens of Western languages. For a single Chinese font it takes a team of several designers at least two years.
