Design & features

Hanzi Pinyin's defining feature is the pinyin and tone mark built in above every character. The hanzi themselves sit between Hei and Kai styles with a modern touch—neat, clean and easy to recognise.

Best uses

If you are working on children's picture books or packaging for literary-style brands, Hanzi Pinyin is an easy pick, and it is also worth trying for book and magazine pages. Serif horizontals are thin, so on screen keep it at 14px or larger; it really shines in print.

Pairing ideas

Fonts on this site that pair well with Hanzi Pinyin:

  • HONOR Sans (荣耀字体) — a neutral face that stays clear at small sizes, ideal for body and supporting text
  • Basteleur — an elegant Latin serif for English subtitles and accents
