Every word I practice becomes better, and I use this to temporarily reconcile with the world. Calligraphy practice is an analgesic without any side effects, and maybe you just need it. So what I bring to you today is a navigation map of handwriting fonts, and an introduction to some common fonts that are suitable for beginners and can be used for handwriting.


Classification will be introduced from four aspects. They are: speed (the daily practicality of the font after it matures) aesthetics (the degree to which the public appreciates it, referred to as appearance) artistry (the ability to submit submissions to exhibitions and win awards) learning difficulty (the degree of difficulty in 0 basic learning) and some simple introductions. A full score of five points, with a difficulty level of six means it is not suitable for learning.

Summary: Also known as "Internet celebrity style", it is a favorite among troubled children who are close to calligraphy but do not abide by the law. Because teachers or leaders (but the president may appreciate you) may not necessarily recognize it, so this speed does not equal practicality. The purpose is actually relatively simple, to look cool, to look cool and to look cool...
