851Tegaki Zatsu
851Tegaki Zatsu (851手書き雑フォント) is a free Japanese font but it too supports extensive simplified and traditional Chinese characters. The handwriting style of this font is casually natural and appears slightly messy, as if the characters are written fast. Certain strokes can bee seen simplified or conjoined, and characters are slanting on a random angle towards front or back. However I think it’s still pretty readable and carries the essence of handwriting style font.
As I mentioned earlier, this is a Japanese font but supports pretty much Chinese characters. Not only that, it supports many other scripts including Latin, Arabic, Hebrew, Cyrillic, Greek, Thai and many more. The font author literally went above and beyond with this font and bundle all of them under one file. Therefore the file size of this font is a whopping 28.6MB, or more than 100 times larger than any typical English fonts. You can download this font for free and be used in any personal or commercial projects.
