Grass Font[edit]

Hi. I'm trying to find a free downloadable classical cursive script font but it is a surprisingly difficult task. I'm looking for the most traditional fonts, not something fancy/artsy. Do you have any idea? Thank you! --87.18.51.91 (talk) 03:03, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I guess you mean, "a font for grass script" as in the right-hand column of the image, not this or this. --Lambiam 10:43, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Does this font, "Kouzan Sousho", work for you? --Lambiam 10:53, 23 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It is a nice font. Thank you. Unfortunately it appears to lack some Hanzi/Kanji. --87.18.51.91 (talk) 13:36, 26 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the font was created by calligrapher Kouzan Aoyagi (青柳衡山). Searching for that name turns up several free fonts, such as Kouzan Mouhitsu, said to be a brush script font suitable for haiku, New Year's cards and so on. Perhaps you can find contact information and hope the calligrapher can be persuaded to add missing kanji to the Kouzan Sousho font. --Lambiam 10:06, 27 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
