## What it is
I.Ming is an open-source CJK Ming (Serif) typeface family built to traditional inherited glyph standards, distributed as OpenType/TrueType fonts under the IPA Open Font License. It includes several variants covering Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and extended CJK character sets.

## Use cases
- traditional chinese serif font for documents
- open source ming typeface for cjk typesetting
- font following traditional inherited glyph standards
- replacement for windows mingliu font
- cjk font for vertical and horizontal printing
- japanese mincho style open font

## When to choose
- you need a free, open-licensed traditional Chinese Ming/Serif typeface
- you want glyphs following traditional inherited character forms rather than mainland standards
- you need broad CJK coverage including extension blocks

## When to avoid
- you need a sans-serif or simplified-Chinese-first typeface
- you require variable font or web font formats not provided by the project
- your license terms prohibit IPA-font-derived derivatives
