Design & features
Jiangcheng Yuehu is reworked from Jiangcheng Yuan: horizontals are widened and verticals thinned, and the resulting contrast feels energetic, while round stroke ends keep it soft and tidy.
It has 3 weights, with contrast increasing as weight decreases; 6,763 characters including Latin and numerals, with good Simplified and Traditional coverage.
Best uses
Jiangcheng Yuehu shines in sports and speed themes and live-stream overlays, and is a good fit for headline captions on app screenshots too. Heavy headline type pops most on light backgrounds or solid colour blocks.
