Fangsong (or Imitation Song) is a style of typeface for Chinese characters modeled after that used in block-printed works from Lin'an during the Southern Song dynasty. The script used in the printed work is derived from regular script. Fangsong is the standard typeface in official documents produced by the Chinese government,^[1] and civil drawings in both China and Taiwan.
