(not limited to "cute" style fonts, but any fonts with "affinity" will be introduced, hoping to help the subject's current and future "visual communication" direction) Elegant and lively black body (for title): Founder Zhenghei series +ITCLunaThis is a font matching that is closer to the needs of women, lively yet dignified. Founder Zhenghei series is one of Founder's own signature fonts, which highlights the thickness of the strokes and looks elegant, but this font is currently being abused, and it may cause visual fatigue if you read too much. But as long as you make good use of it, you can create new ideas. Do not use the Western part and number part that Fangzheng Zhenghei comes with. This is purely used by designers who have no knowledge of Western calligraphy.

You can try this when making posters for boys. The starting point of Yundonghei has a small "spike", which is to stimulate the vision, and at the same time give people a sense of "freshness" that breaks away from the rigid traditional black body.

However, in view of the abuse of Kangxi dictionary fonts before, please limit the use of this set of fonts to works with "classical" or "traditional" themes, and only use black and white. Cute and easy-to-read round font (for text): Fangzheng Lanting round font>Round body is an eye-catching font. If you abandon girly fonts, it is a good choice to use round body. Unfortunately, round body is used as a title, and it is not stable. Now the redesigned Lanting round font newly released by Founder Type makes it possible for round fonts to be used as body fonts. It not only maintains the readability, but also has a brand-new effect. Personally, I especially recommend such a beneficial attempt as replacing the black body with a round body. Don’t worry that there are no Western language partners for the round body, Office> but it should be noted that the wording is: Fangzheng Lanting Yuan_Small> Other Western collocations: Avenir>The following are not specific Chinese adaptations List of feminine western fonts:FFMetaErik Speakman (Erik>SyntaxThe calligrapher Hans-Eduard Mayer (Hans> died last year at the age of 95 Summary: Does "high-end" fonts have no expression? I don't think so. For example, these fonts introduced above, in addition to the functionality of their design, designers will more or less incorporate some of their own Emotion, to make font users and readers feel the "care" of the designer. High-end does not mean rigid and cold, just like> In China, this understanding of the "emotion" of fonts has gone to two extremes: on the one hand Some font designers have been tempted by commercialization to design a large number of "handwriting fonts" that only emphasize "cuteness" (the cooperation with calligraphers is not counted). There is not much consideration in the design collocation (for the text, readability is very important, maybe as a title font, as long as there is love, it will be fine), and users are also popularized by this trend to graphic design, using girly body, meow Wu font is used in the text instead of the title, which has harmed the eyes of countless people, and quite a few of them don’t know how to use it at all. So we can see that there are a lot of font-seeking questions on Zhihu. I am looking for some fonts that seem to be "pleasing to the eyes" but have no overall typographical considerations, and I can't help but look at them; while looking for "functional" fonts, the answers are often full of various self-thinking "personally thinks it looks good" A font that can be used for all purposes not only does not answer the question correctly, but also misleads font users and encourages unhealthy trends in the font design industry. On the other hand, a group of designers emphasize absolute "functionality" and believe that all fonts are It is necessary to convey useful information to users in a nonchalant manner, and stick to the debate that this font is "not practical". In this way, there are very few "quality" fonts that users can use to express emotions. Even if there are good fonts , many users don't even understand the functions of these fonts, let alone their emotions, so they make a joke of using the tough and tough super rigid black on the posters of the childish undergraduate graduation exhibition, coupled with the ugly The color matching and funny typography level, this designer really lost the face of a school of fine arts. As users, when choosing these fonts, we should not only consider the simple thickness of the strokes, but also consider the emotion and functionality they bring , but also pay attention to typography. Consider the above points comprehensively, so that you can express your ideas accurately and clearly.(Updated on March 18) I didn't expect this answer to resonate with so many friends. The original intention of this answer is to help the subject choose a non-"vulgar" poster font. But I can get the appreciation of friends. I have a lot of Chinese fonts. The confidence in the future of design and typography will be increased. In the >“mainstream”, there is hope for the improvement of the Chinese font typography environment. TIB>I am just a student, not a practitioner of font design or typography, but I know a little about the current situation and difficulties of these industries from various aspects, and I hope to help the revitalization of this industry through my modest efforts. I also hope that everyone will pay attention to this industry and support the healthy development of this industry. Maybe everyone's efforts can make our eyes less unnecessary pollution and make what we see better.
