9 Traditional Script Styles
Elegant and formal, clerical script (lishu) dates back to the Han Dynasty. Its flat, wide strokes convey dignity and tradition.
Flowing and expressive, running script (xingshu) balances speed and legibility. The most popular style for artistic expression.
Clear and structured, regular script (kaishu) is the foundation of Chinese handwriting. Perfect for a clean, modern look.
Wild and dramatic, cursive script (caoshu) pushes the boundaries of form. Ideal for those who want something truly artistic.
Ancient and mysterious, seal script (zhuanshu) is the oldest style. Its symmetrical, archaic beauty is perfect for distinctive designs.
Raw and primal yet refined. Based on modern calligrapher Chen Xiaomin's handwritten script, Long Cang features textured strokes of middling thickness with an organic, hand-crafted feel.
Brush strokes with agile energy. ZCOOL XiaoWei is a display font with calligraphic brush character, designed for logo-ready Chinese typography with artistic flair.
Innovative and rounded. ZCOOL QingKe HuangYou features creative character shapes with softened right angles, blending modern design sensibility with calligraphic roots.
Lively and joyful. ZCOOL KuaiLe was crafted by over 100 typography apprentices, bringing a playful hand-written energy that's perfect for cheerful, approachable designs.
