Extended information

Regular script is characterized by horizontal and vertical calligraphy and painting, compact structure, smooth momentum and beautiful figure. There are many fine calligraphers in history handed down from generation to generation. Ou Yangxun, Liu Gongquan, Yan Zhenqing and Zhao Meng developed regular script to its peak with their unique styles, and were called the four masters of regular script by the world.

Since regular script is easier to write than official script and easier to recognize than cursive script, it gradually replaced official script and became a common font after Wei and Jin Dynasties. In the Song Dynasty, due to the development of printing, on the basis of regular script, a font for printing was gradually formed, which was later called Songti. Nowadays, the song typeface, imitation song typeface and bold font used in computer typesetting and various printed materials are all variations and applications of regular script.
