Member sti… Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 This topic was imported from the Typophile platform Hi everyone, I've taken on a menu design project for a semi-formal Chinese restaurant and am in need of some suggestions. I'm trying to stray away from obvious Asian-stereotypical fonts, but rather something classic and clean with a slight hint of Asian influence. Any help would be appreciated. Right now I am pairing Century Gothic with Palatino italic and while they are quite nice together, they're giving a much more western (perhaps an Italian restaurant) vibe. Link to comment

Member don… Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 One factor you might consider is that East Asian font designers usually include a Latin subset in Chinese and Japanese fonts using a light version of common Latin fonts. If you have Windows, check the installed East Asian fonts for some examples. Don Link to comment

Member Les… Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I second altsan's recommendation, any well designed humanist face where the trace of the pen is palpable and intrinsic. Link to comment
