Design & features
ZCOOL GaoDuanHei came from ZCOOL's "Hundred Designers" project, with every glyph crowdsourced from 79 designers across China. Horizontal ends share one consistent slant, it follows the thin-horizontal, thick-vertical rule of Chinese display Hei, and its 10:7 width ratio makes it flat—sharp yet composed.
It includes 6,763 hanzi plus numerals and Latin letters.
Best uses
Stylistically, ZCOOL GaoDuanHei works well for sports and speed themes, live-stream overlays and short-video cover titles. For headlines, tighten the tracking a little and size it well above body text for a clear hierarchy.
