About Hei / Gothic fonts
Hei (Chinese gothic) is the workhorse of Chinese design: even strokes and no decorative serifs keep it clear on screen and in print. This collection ranges from system-grade text faces tuned for UI—Alibaba PuHuiTi, HarmonyOS Sans, OPPO Sans—to headline Hei with slants and hooks such as UISDC Biaotihei and Smiley Sans. For app UI and store screenshots, a neutral Hei for supporting text plus a more expressive Hei for the headline gives a clean hierarchy.
