Font shapes include square, rectangle, flat square, etc. ② Imitation Song Dynasty art calligraphy: It is a font that is a combination of Song style characters and regular script.

2. Writing rules of artistic calligraphy ① Founder: Since the structure of Chinese characters is square, the periphery of artistic calligraphy must be square. The strokes must be horizontally, vertically, and placed properly to appear dignified and generous.

②Symmetry: When arranging the structure of artistic calligraphy, the strokes of the font should be evenly distributed and reasonably coordinated. If the strokes are large or small, tight or loose, the font will be loose or crowded.

③ Interspersed contention: The strokes and radicals of artistic characters are different. In order to make the strokes of a character echo each other and have a stable center of gravity, it is necessary to make appropriate adjustments and arrangements to certain strokes of the character so that they are interspersed in an orderly and reasonable manner.

The so-called interleaving is to intersect and extend the strokes of artistic calligraphy; the so-called concession is to compete for some strokes of the calligraphy to take a step forward, while some strokes have to take a step back. ④ Top grid, indented grid, and out of grid grid: Top grid is to put the main strokes or edge strokes of artistic calligraphy against the character grid, but be careful not to overdo it.

Indentation is to shrink the strokes of some characters back. Because the peripheral strokes of some characters are parallel to the edges of the character grid, they cannot press or be close to the border lines of the character grid when writing. To shrink and adjust, such as "国", "SI", "日", "山", "南" and other words. Otherwise, the words will appear fat and uncoordinated.

When writing triangular, rhombus-shaped characters, you can place the dots, offsets, and strokes of the pen in an appropriately out-of-frame manner, such as "人", "会", "明" and other characters. You should also pay attention to the moderation when going too far.

⑤Dense collection: The strokes of Chinese characters are either sparse or dense. When writing artistic calligraphy, for characters with dense strokes, the strokes should be appropriately shortened or thinned to prevent such characters from being too large to fit in the character frame, such as "jian", "forging", "police", "嬬", etc. .

For characters with sparse strokes, try to be broad and support the character grid. 1.

< p> The Heilongji characters have absorbed the advantages of the rigorous structure of the Song-style characters on the frame. In the shape of the strokes, the horizontal strokes are thickened and the shrug angles of the Song-style characters are flattened into equal lines. The strokes with different thicknesses at the tail and head are square strokes. The boldface characters are usually derived from medium black, large black and thin black (shown in the picture below for reference). (medium black) boldface characters (large black) boldface characters (thin black) artistic characters (pinyin: měi shù zì): It can be said that artistic characters are boldface characters that have been processed, beautified and decorated. In other words, they are a type of boldface characters. A kind of writing art that uses decorative techniques to beautify words. It is a practical font processed by art.

Advertisements, newspapers, magazines and books are all inseparable from artistic calligraphy. Artistic calligraphy fonts vary from person to person, and it can be said that the variations are endless.

In ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, artistic calligraphy can be divided into flat art calligraphy and three-dimensional art calligraphy; or realistic art calligraphy and freehand art calligraphy. It is usually used in printing live objects, book binding, environmental decoration, blackboard newspapers, wall posters, commercial art, advertisements, trademarks, etc. (The picture below shows some fonts used daily for reference).
