A basic introduction to artistic words

Artistic words are widely used in publicity, advertising, trademarks, slogans, blackboards, etc. Company names, venue layouts, exhibitions, as well as product packaging and decoration, various advertisements, newspapers, magazines and books, etc. are increasingly popular among the public.

Art fonts are font designers who use thousands of Chinese characters to form a font system with a fixed decorative effect through a unique and unified deformation combination, and convert it into a font file in ttf format. , for installation and use in computers, so that they can be called artistic fonts. Artistic fonts are an effective supplement to today’s traditional fonts. There are essential differences between Chinese characters and English. Because Chinese characters have a huge font system, the emergence of a set of fonts requires a huge workload, resulting in a single font in China for thousands of years, unlike English, which has tens of thousands of fonts. Therefore, Chinese fonts have a long way to go. The emergence of each font effectively enriches the art of Chinese fonts and satisfies the current font users’ pursuit of individualized innovation! Use the buttons on the “Word Art” toolbar to customize the art of fonts. Set the content, style, shape, font spacing, size, etc. If this toolbar is not displayed, you can right-click WordArt and select "Show WordArt Toolbar", or execute "View" → "Toolbars" → "WordArt".
