Note that the name of the font is not a good synopsis :)

This problem does exist in the original description as well, but

marketing terms such as "open-source" ought to be avoided. Looking at

Klee One [1], which is also SIL-OFL, one might perhaps call this a

Chinese handwriting font?

As with LXGW Wenkai, I'd suggest mentioning that it's a handwriting

font. IMHO you could simply inherit from LXGW Wenkai and only swap out

name, version, source and description.

As with the LXGW pair, I think inheriting most of the package, but

writing a good description, is better than the other way round ;)

Users won't see the description of LXGW WenKai when they read this one.

Similarly, as we don't have Klee One packaged, references to it in the

description of LXGW WenKai are also possibly unhelpful.

Am Freitag, dem 05.08.2022 um 09:48 +0800 schrieb Hilton Chain:

IMHO "Traditional Chinese Serif Typeface" fits better. You could want

to write Traditional Chinese without being a Traditional Chinese user.

Is it really region-agnostic if it adopts a style prevailing in "the

Traditional Chinese regions", whichever those are? ??

Apart from that, does ", usually commercial" add useful information?

If you do want to add another paragraph (not that one is needed), I'd

suggest writing something along the lines of "The font aims at

providing a modern glyph set, adopting a style similar to those

prevalent in Hong Kong." (HK pretty surely means Hong Kong, but it's

better to spell it out ??)

Hi Liliana,

Great thanks for your reviewing! :)

Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau and other places use Traditional Chinese in

daily life.

It's designed for usages like displaying on screens and publishing, so

this could be explained as "like those fonts you can see on street".

This font is based on the Hong Kong variant of Source Han Serif, with

some modifications to make it region-agnostic. It might inherits the

"HK" but not actually Hong Kong-specific.

Regards,

Chain
