An (currently unfinished) independent derivative of Fontworks Klee. This repository is not affiliated with, associated with, or endorsed by Fontworks or the original Klee authors. It only uses and redistributes the upstream open-source font under the SIL OFL.
The goal is to keep the handwritten kaisho character of the typeface while extending Simplified Chinese coverage (current plan GB2312).
A kaisho hard-pen script with a pencil- or pen-like handwritten feel, suited for body text. Released by Fontworks under the SIL OFL.
Klee Extended Shinjitai Base / Clover Shinjitai Base
The fork of the previously mentioned Klee that unified all inconsistencies between 新字体(Shinjitai) and 旧字体(Kyuujitai) with 表外汉字(Hyougai Kanji), unifying the components like "曾", "羽", "辶(辵)", etc.
