The M XiangHe Hei Traditional Chinese typeface merges traditional brush strokes with modern letterforms to carefully balance traditional calligraphy with humanist design. Named for the smooth movements of a flying crane, the M XiangHe Hei typeface is designed to glide across the page, and features strokes that are partly derived from the Kaishu calligraphic style – an everyday script which dates back hundreds of years.

M XiangHe Hei TC features Neue Frutiger for its Latin glyphs, and works harmoniously Neue Frutiger World and Monotype’s CJK typefaces: Tazugane Gothic (Japanese) and Seol Sans (Korean). M XiangHe Hei TC is a great choice for global brands using sans serif Latin typefaces looking to maintain their visual identity, and communicate with a consistent tone of voice with Traditional Chinese.

The M XiangHe Hei TC fonts have over 19,000 glyphs, and support the BIG5/HKHCS and CP950 character sets for Traditional Chinese.

The inspiration source for Buttergin Monogram is a highly ornate lettering style from the book, “Letters and Lettering” by Carlyle & Oring. This fantastic lettering style was originally depicted only with Capitals and Numbers, which we’ve lovingly recreated to include smallcaps for the purpose of Monogramming, Signs, and Headlines. From the original style that had a drop shadow and line shading, we extrapolated solid and a clean outline with drop shadow styles for more versatility of use.
