## What it is
Ark Pixel Font is an open-source pan-CJK pixel font family in a gothic (heiti) style, available in 10px, 12px, and 16px sizes with monospaced and proportional width modes. It provides language-specific glyph variants for Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese (HK/TW/traditional print), Japanese, Korean, and Latin environments, dual-licensed under OFL-1.1 and MIT.

## Use cases
- pixel font for CJK text in retro games
- bitmap font for Chinese Japanese Korean characters
- monospaced pixel font for terminal or UI mockups
- proportional pixel font with proper kerning for web pages
- language-specific glyph variants for zh_cn zh_tw ja ko
- open licensed pixel font for game development

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-licensed pixel font covering Chinese, Japanese, or Korean
- you want language-correct glyph shapes per region (mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea)
- you need both monospaced and proportional pixel typography at 10/12/16px
- you want a gothic-style pixel font rather than a song/serif style

## When to avoid
- you need complete CJK coverage today - the font is still missing many characters and is in active development
- you need sizes other than 10px, 12px, or 16px
- you need a serif or handwriting-style pixel font
- you need high-resolution or vector typography rather than pixel/bitmap aesthetics
