Comments of judges

“Arphic Infinity Font is a font system. With the Font Engine, Arphic Infinity Font creates a new model and it takes only a set of font data to adjust the font weights and is able to create 256X256 different font weights. Just a simple setting, it could make different scripts show in the same weight. Credit to its small data volume, it’s great to be adopted on different mobile devices.”
