Evaluation Comments

Arphic Infinity Font is a design of a font system. Arphic Technology has developed an innovative model by installing FontEngine in fonts. This unique engine technology can modify the bold level from one writing style and create writing styles with various changes (256 x 256 = 65,536 kinds). Moreover, by only defining the bold level, different languages can also be expressed with the same bold level. As the data volume is small, it is compatible with various mobile devices and is very convenient to use. As the design reviews the frame and roots of problems with superb flexibility, further development is greatly anticipated.
