## What are the main Chinese fonts?

Song (宋体, sòngtǐ; called Ming 明体 in Taiwan) is the print serif of books and newspapers. Hei (黑体, hēitǐ) is the plain sans of screens and signs. Kai (楷体, kǎitǐ) is the handwritten regular script taught at school. Fangsong (仿宋) is used for official documents. The calligraphy styles, running (行书), cursive (草书), clerical (隶书) and seal (篆书), are used for art, signs and logos.

## Can I copy and paste a Chinese font?

Chinese characters are the same text in every font: the font is only how a device draws them, so text pasted into a message or a profile shows in the reader’s own font. To keep a look, save it as an image here, or install the font. “Fancy text” that swaps English letters for look-alike symbols, such as 卂乃匚, is not Chinese and reads as nonsense to a Chinese reader.

## How do I get these fonts for Word, Canva or Photoshop?

Every font here is free under the SIL Open Font License, also for commercial work. Each style links to its page on Google Fonts: download it, install it, and choose it in your app’s font list. Song and Hei are drawn here in your device’s own print fonts; Noto Serif SC and Noto Sans SC are free versions of both.

## How do I write English in a Chinese font?

Type an English word and the generator writes the dictionary’s Chinese word for it, with other words a press away. Check the meaning before you use it. For a name, Your name in Chinese gives a Chinese name from its sounds.
