The Fangsong script (simplified Chinese: 仿宋体; traditional Chinese: 仿宋體; lit. 'imitation Song font') 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.
