HDZB_7: Traditional Chinese Clerical Script Font.Description: This Chinese font gives people the feeling of fluidity and comfortability. In structure and rectilinearity, it is generally similar to the modern script however, in contrast with the tall to square modern script, it tends to be square to wide, and often has a pronounced, wavelike flaring of isolated major strokes, especially a dominant rightward or downward diagonal stroke. This legibility stems from the highly rectilinear structure, a feature shared with modern regular script (kaishu). Because of its high legibility to modern readers, it is still used for artistic flavor in a variety of functional applications such as headlines, signboards, and advertisements. The clerical script, also formerly chancery script, is an archaic style of Chinese calligraphy which evolved in the Warring States period to the Qin dynasty, was dominant in the Han dynasty, and remained in use through the Wèi-Jìn periods. Description: This simplified Chinese font follows the clerical script style, or Lishu.
