About ldeafonts Qingyili Typsnitt

Qingyili är ett kinesiskt typsnitt baserat på Han-dynastins officiella skrift och på de kantiga penseldragen i stentavleinskriptioner från de norra dynastierna. Typsnittet bevarar den traditionella kalligrafins dragformer med silkesmaskhuvud och vildgåsstjärt. Teckenformerna är upprätta och stabila, med något utvidgade inre utrymmen och jämn dragtjocklek som stödjer tydlig läsning. Flera vikter finns tillgängliga, vilket gör att typsnittsfamiljen passar för rubriker och brödtext i både tryckta och digitala medier. Målet är att förena kalligrafisk karaktär med modern typografisk funktion.

Unique Properties: The font is an innovative script that blends the aesthetic elegance of traditional Chinese calligraphy with the clarity and functionality of modern design language.

Production Technology: Through extensive research of official script stone inscriptions of the Han Dynasty and the tablet inscriptions of the Northern Dynasties, the design team discovered character structures that align with modern typographic needs. Using digital technologies to analyze, extract, and refine the structure, they ultimately developed this innovative font.
Design Challenge: Most official script fonts on the market face two main issues: some overly emphasize traditional brushwork at the cost of functionality, while others sacrifice the script’s charm for functionality. The font tackles that challenge by drawing on the structure of the official script and angular brushstrokes, thus preserving the charm of traditional Chinese calligraphy while enhancing its versatility for contemporary use, striking a visual balance between artistic flair and practical readability.
Research: As a key script in the evolution of Chinese characters, official script features silkworm-head and wild-goose-tail strokes, expanded inner spaces, and upright forms, becoming a classic style of Chinese calligraphy. Drawing on the official script and modernized angular brushstrokes, it inherits the cultural essence of traditional Chinese calligraphy and meets the functional needs of modern graphic design and personal daily use, driving the diversified development of Chinese creative fonts.
Inspiration: Inspired by the traditional stone inscription style from the late official script period, it retains iconic features like the silkworm-head and wild-goose-tail stroke forms and the alternation of curves and straight lines, with starting strokes rounded and full like silkworms and ending strokes stretching out gracefully like geese. Incorporating modern font and angular brushstrokes, it ensures clean transitions and elegant movement, blending traditional charm with modern touch.
Project Duration: Development of the font began in January 2023, with the first weight officially released in June. By March 2024, the complete font family—comprising eight distinct weights—was fully launched.
Operation Flow: Structurally, the font features slightly expanded inner spaces and solid, upright character forms. Uniform stroke thickness contributes to a neoclassical style, while maintaining excellent legibility. Available in seven weights, it is suitable for a wide range of layout needs, from headlines to body text, and from print to digital media.
