ABOUT

Source Han Serif

Source Han Serif is the serif-style typeface family companion to Source Han Sans. This free superfamily covers Chinese (traditional (both Taiwan and Hong Kong) and simplified), Japanese, Korean, Greek, Cyrillic and Latin. This project, based on designs originally due to Ryoko Nishizuka, a senior Adobe designer in Tokyo, started in 2010. The designers of Source Han Simplified and Traditional Chinese, and Source Han serif Japanese and Korean are Frank Griesshammer, Ryoko Nishizuka, Soohyun Park, Wenlong Zhang and Yejin We. The Chinese glyphs, both simplified and traditional, were designed by partner type foundry Changzhou SinoType. The Korean glyphs were designed by partner type foundry Sandoll Communications.

Source han Serif won an award at TDC Typeface Design 2018.
