Cliff

Cliff is an inscriptional typeface inspired by the Chinese Wei regular script calligraphy from around 5th century CE, especially the Northern Wei Empire. The script is characterized by robust form, heavy weight, rather wide proportions, and sharp corners and points. Most existing examples of this script are inscriptions on stelae, tombstones, statues, and cliffs.

The Latin letters are reimagined to be written with a Chinese pointed brush, combined with characteristics of the script, such as the overall texture and the contrast between sharp points and curves. The typeface produces a monumental quality and a sense of Chinese calligraphy, and is intended for display uses in Chinese culture related context.
