Zhi Mang Xing

Zhi Mang Xing is a Chinese running-script font based on the brushwork of the calligrapher Wei Zhimang. Running script — xíngshū — is the semi-cursive style in which the strokes within a character flow together while the characters themselves stay separate.

That gives it the energy of real handwriting while remaining legible to most readers, with a richness that recalls the celebrated calligrapher Wu Changshuo.

Use it for titles, posters, tea and food packaging, poetry and greetings in Simplified Chinese. Keep it to short text; for body copy, a clean sans is easier to read.
