Chinese writing style

https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%B1%89%E5%...%BD%93%E3%80%82

陶文 ‧ 甲骨文 ‧ 金文 ‧ 古文(蝌蚪文) ‧ 石鼓文
籀文 ‧ 鸟虫书 ‧ 篆书(大篆 ‧ 小篆)
隶书 ‧ 楷书 ‧ 行书 ‧ 草书
漆书 ‧ 书法 ‧ 飞白书

You can recognize them, but similar writing style there might have many fonts (provided by different vendor), whch is almost impossible to identify.

Just like the Roman style there are many different versions

You want nice font, you have to pay.

There are a lot of free chinese font which you can find online, but they will have missing code point

Good start https://github.com/topics/chinese-fonts

Sometimes you have to ask from friend in China.

This file was shared by a netizen from China, it has 58 true type fonts, free for use even commercially.
(I can't paste link, so please copy the URL below to address bar)
drive.google.com/file/d/1w7ISAgtujyTvZne_IRf0qCCL6xkMBSBO/view?usp=sharing

When you click the link, it will prompts:

Google Drive can't scan this file for viruses.

免费可商用中文简体(58款).zip (261M) is too large for Google to scan for viruses. Would you still like to download this file?

Just click "Download anyway"

This screenshot shows two types of font from the collection above.

But please note that folder names in the archive after extracted is garbage character (unless you use Chinese Windows), just ignore it and go through all the folder one by one, some TTF file names are in English, just click Install button, and you can use it in WordPad or other document editor.

Enjoy!
