Yozai Font
Yozai Font (悠哉字体) is a free simplified Chinese font that comes with handwriting style. It was based on an open-sourced Japanese font by Y.OzFont, which was featured in Free Japanese Font website. The author basically taken the original font, and modified it to include simplified Chinese characters. It’s a huge font size with great number of glyphs that supports not only simplified Chinese, but also Japanese, Russian and extended latin languages. You can look for the language support for this font in a font app.
The best part is this font comes with three font weights: Light, Regular and Medium. According to the author it used to have Bold weight but it was removed. The font is open-sourced under SIL Open Font License, hence you can use it for free for personal and commercial projects.
