How many Chinese fonts are there in China?

By the end of 2020 10, it is estimated that there will be nearly 2,000 Chinese fonts in China.

From the perspective of cultural inheritance, the evolution process of China fonts is also the inheritance process of Chinese character culture and calligraphy art. Now the commonly used "Song Style" is a font created by seal engravers in Ming Dynasty on the basis of the "Song Style Imitation" formed in Southern Song Dynasty to adapt to the popularization of printing. In recent years, the popular "Yan Kai" and "Shoujinti" are based on calligraphers such as Mo Bao, Yan Zhenqing and Song Huizong.

The relationship between modern Chinese character fonts and traditional calligraphy art is inheritance and innovation. Wang Min believes that font design is based on China's calligraphy, but with the upgrading of printing technology and the popularization of digital media, many factors should be considered in modern font design.

The "Northern Wei Regular Script" designed by font designer Zhu Zhiwei won the bronze prize in the international typesetting font competition of Senze Company. In his view, the original regular script font was "too beautiful" and sometimes it was not clear enough. So he integrated the epitaph of the Northern Wei Dynasty and the "Fang Bi" in the statue into the regular script, and turned the round and soft strokes into traces of knives and axes, which was more imposing.

Speaking Chinese characters is the creation of China people, but Chinese font design is still a new industry in China. In the early years, the domestic copyright protection environment was poor, and the development of font design industry lagged behind. However, Japan, with good copyright protection, is in the leading position in Chinese font design in the world, surpassing China in quantity and quality.
