Imitation Song

thumb|upright 0.4|The char­ac­ters written in a modern Fangsong typeface The '''Fangsong script''' () is a style of serifed typefaces for displaying Chinese characters, modeled after the block-printed and movable type works from Lin'an during the Southern Song dynasty. The script is a printing-oriented variant derived from regular script like its earlier sister Song script, and is identical to the Song script except for much narrower strokes with even thickness between horizon and vertical strokes. Fangsong is the standard modern publication typeface style in official documents issued by the Government of the People's Republic of China, and civil drawings in both Mainland China and Taiwan.

==Characteristics== Characteristics of Fangsong typefaces include: The basic structure of regular script, with overall geometrical regularity Relatively straight strokes, with horizontal strokes slanting up slightly. Low stroke width variation between horizontal and vertical strokes, with strokes usually being relatively thin. Less pronounced triangular serifs at the end of horizontal strokes, sometimes reduced to only a slanted end.
