Abstract

With the widespread adoption of digital screens, the design of Chinese fonts optimized for display faces unique challenges. This study aims to establish practical design guidelines to enhance the readability and visual comfort of Chinese characters on screens. First, it reviews the evolution of Chinese media, the iteration of screen technologies, and the development of display fonts. Second, it analyzes the characteristics of screens as a textual medium to derive design principles for screen-displayed Chinese characters. The study compares parameters such as the Center Section, Internal Spacing, and Stroke Width of print-based and screen-displayed Chinese characters. It proposes corresponding design recommendations for screen-displayed Chinese characters based on these parameters, providing a design paradigm for future font development in the field of human-computer interfaces.
