Miorning Goupa Hei
Miorning Goupa Hei (喵咛狗爬黑) is a rough, bold brush style free Chinese font designed by MIORNING. The name comes from 狗爬字 (“dog-scrawl writing”), a teasing Chinese phrase for messy handwriting, and the font leans right into it. Its tagline, 字可以歪，态度要正, roughly means “the letters can lean, but the attitude stays upright.” Horizontals and verticals are left slightly uneven on purpose, and the awkwardness of heavy brush strokes becomes the font’s personality instead of something to tidy up. The result feels relaxed, self-deprecating and unpretentious, closer to a confident scribble than to polished calligraphy.
One thing to note that this font was built with AI help. The designer set the creative direction. The glyphs were then generated programmatically from the project’s own stroke and component rules, with mechanical checks and some manual fixes along the way. Not every character was hand-drawn or proofread by a professional designer, so common characters should look fine, but some complex or rare characters may have rough stroke forms or regional variants that need a second look. If your project relies on those, check them before you use the font.
This is a display font made for covers, headlines, posters, short phrases and signatures. It shows its slant and stroke variation best at larger sizes and isn’t meant for long body text. The character coverage is unusually broad. It supports both Simplified and Traditional Chinese, targeting more than 100,000 Han characters across the Unicode basic block and Extensions A to J. It was checked against the Table of General Standard Chinese Characters (8,105 characters), GBK, Big5 and Big5-HKSCS. It also includes Japanese kana, modern Korean Hangul, Bopomofo with Pinyin tone marks, Greek, Cyrillic, and Latin letters for English, Spanish, Italian, French, German and Vietnamese. The font comes as a single TrueType Collection (TTC) file with two faces: a main library and a supplementary face for very rare characters. It is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which means you can download and use this font commercially for free.
