Overview
In today’s world, fonts [1] can be roughly divided into four categories: Song, Kai, Hei, and Yi. They have different shapes and different uses.
Song, which comes from the printing industry, has always been the most commonly used font in paper books. It is highly recognizable and full of elegance in ink and wash. Among the outstanding ones, there are Founder, Adobe-std, Siyuan, etc., and I think the best one is Siyuan Songti.
Regular script evolved from ancient handwriting and is often used for text quotations, content emphasis, and layout of ancient poems and articles. It is powerful and artistic. There are many of them, and Kaiyuan’s Xiawu Wenkai can be said to be an outstanding one.
Black is a font infiltrated with modern design ideas. It is most commonly used in electronic device UI, network layout, and code display. For example, the three major operating systems of Windows, Apple, and Linux are all based on black fonts. Among the black bodies of Kaiyuan, Wenquanyi Micron Black is the top grade.
Art, anything that does not belong to the above three, the rest are all artistic fonts. Artistic fonts are the creative creations of designers with many styles and cannot be generalized. Among them, GNU-Unifont is the most perfect among the pixel styles, and other styles such as pen and calligraphy are also popular among others.

Font format
Fonts are all stored in files, and the formats are unified. Currently, TTF(TrueType Font) , OTF (OpenType Font) , WOFF(Web Open Font Format) , and WOFF2 are the mainstream ones. They are used in different scenarios and have different file sizes.
In terms of size, TTF and OTF are larger, WOFF is smaller, and WOFF2 is the smallest. There is another method, which is not to take the entire character library but only to take the characters used, then the document can be simplified.
