## What it is
Yozai Font is an open-source Chinese handwriting-style font derived from Y.OzFont, covering GB 2312, the General Standard Chinese Characters Table, BIG5, and the full CJK Unified Ideographs basic block (partially completed via zi2zi deep learning). It offers multiple weights and adjusted glyphs conforming to mainland China standard character forms.

## Use cases

- download a handwriting-style CJK font for design projects
- need a Chinese font covering GB2312 and BIG5 characters

## When to choose

## When to avoid
