Speaking of good-looking and easy-to-use handwriting-style open source fonts, many people will think of the “Chenyu Luoyan font” that became popular in the summer of 2022.

They worked together in high school, with Wei Chen in charge of writing and Li Yu in charge of editing and file packaging, laying the foundation for the birth of this font.
Wei Chen’s love for words originally came from the handwriting sharing community on Instagram. In order to write more beautiful words, he kept practicing and even developed the habit of copying beautiful sentences from literary works. In the process of exploring graphic design, he gradually realized the importance of fonts for visual presentation, and then devoted more attention to the study of the art of writing.
Liyu became interested in fonts when he was in his first year of high school because of posts on the justfont community. He was particularly attracted by the design of the Jinxuan font. Since then, he has continued to pay attention to the development of the font field and often shares font-related information with the community in the “Zi Hi” community on Facebook.
