Ming fonts, also known as Song fonts, are characterized by their high contrast between thick and thin strokes, triangular serifs, and a balanced, refined appearance. They are rooted in traditional Chinese calligraphy and are often used to evoke a sense of elegance, tradition, and authority, particularly in East Asian contexts.
