Design & features
ZCOOL Wenyi reduces or removes curves in favour of right angles or rounded corners for a geometric feel, and adds a small vertical tick at the top-right of some turns to bring life and a literary touch. Glyphs are slightly wide and square—simple and steady.
It contains 7,472 characters plus punctuation.
Best uses
We recommend ZCOOL Wenyi for kids and pet themes, live-stream overlays and headline captions on app screenshots. For headlines, tighten the tracking a little and size it well above body text for a clear hierarchy.
