About

This package contains the webfont version of Chiron Sans HK (昭源黑體) for using in websites.

Chiron Sans HK is a CJK typeface derived from the Source Han Sans / Noto Sans CJK font family. It aims to provide a modern, region-agnostic glyph set adopting the “written” style that is similar to the prevailing, usually commercial, typefaces such that it is suitable for use in a Traditional Chinese environment.

Chiron Sans HK is available in four configurations: OpenType/CFF (OTF), OpenType/CFF2 (OTF) variable font, TrueType (TTF), and the webfont version in WOFF File Format 2.0 (WOFF2) variable font format.

The webfont version utilizes Unicode-range subsetting technology to reduce download size and improve loading performance. For usage example, check out the official website (Chinese only).

Usage

First, install this package:

npm install chiron-sans-hk-webfont 

Include the css/vf.css file in your web page to start using it. For instance, if you use webpack, you would import the font's CSS file with the following statement:

@import '~chiron-sans-hk-webfont/css/vf.css';

Then set the font-family property to Chiron Sans HK WS to use it:

body {
    font-family: "Chiron Sans HK WS", sans-serif;
}

The table below shows the corresponding font-weight values of the default static font weights. Since this is a variable font, you can also specify any value between 250 and 900 to the font-weight property.

| Font Weight | CSS font-weight Value | |---|---| | ExtraLight | 250 | | Light | 300 | | Normal | 350 | | Regular | 400 | | Medium | 500 | | Bold | 700 | | Heavy | 900 |
