Simple-Song, awarded the Award360° 2022 "Best Typeface Design of the Year", is a body-text serif typeface designed around the concept of "minimalism." Utilizing the smart component technology of Glyphs 3, it achieves a modern transformation toward geometric precision and rationality while preserving the traditional stroke gestures and structure of serif typefaces. Its stroke design retains natural curves while balancing classical charm and modern order through an innovative guiding-line system.
Simple-Song includes 8 weights. By optimizing stroke contrast and internal spacing, it maintains strong legibility even in its boldest weights. The typeface also incorporates the art of Chinese ligatures and a well-matched Western character design, presenting the essential aesthetic harmony of roundness and angularity inherent to serifs in a clean, intuitive manner. This injects contemporary vitality into traditional typeface design, making it suitable for a wide range of typographic applications.
