Official script fonts are often referred to as large, medium and small official scripts, mainly to describe their different styles and characteristics. The following are the main differences between them:
1. Dali: Dali is an older style of official script, also known as "Han Li" or "Ancient Li". It is characterized by thick and heavy strokes, wide and flat structures, long horizontal strokes and short straight strokes, and pays attention to the "silkworm head and wild goose tail" stroke effect. Da Li is usually used for formal writing occasions, such as inscriptions, plaques, etc.
2. Zhongli: Zhongli is a style of official script between Dali and Xiaoli. It is also called "Xing Li" or "Cao Li". It is characterized by thinner strokes, more flexible structure, relatively balanced lengths of horizontal and vertical strokes, and more natural connections between strokes. Zhongli is usually used for writing letters, documents and other daily documents.
3. Xiaoli: Xiaoli is a more modern style of official script, also known as "Kaili" or "Jinli". It is characterized by thin and long strokes, compact structure, relatively long lengths of horizontal and vertical paintings, and relatively simple connections between strokes. Xiao Li is usually used to write official documents, printed matter, advertisements, etc.
In short, the difference between large, medium and small official scripts mainly lies in the thickness of the strokes, the tightness of the structure, the ratio of the length of horizontal strokes to vertical strokes, and the way the strokes are connected. Each official script style has its own unique characteristics and beauty, and can be selected according to different writing needs and personal preferences.
