The link system is not comfortable for netizens because they can be lost due to the exaggerated quantity of content and links. Yet this is something that annoys them as much as it would annoy us. Something most people notice on Chinese websites is the amount of links. Websites divide the area available into many smaller cells or content blocks in order to improve the readability.
Font size shouldn't be less than 12px because of legibility issues.Text is justified to make reading easier (which is essential as there's no spacing between characters).Characters are usually square and monospaced.But for the Chinese, that's no problem after all, minimalism isn't very popular in Asia.Ī few other interesting tidbits about Chinese typography: Adding to the fact that there are over 8,000 simplified Chinese characters, no capital letters, and no space between characters, apps seem more intense as there is much less breathing room. The Chinese characters are divided into strokes but the number of them can vary between 1 and 60 strokes, making them appear very complex and detailed. But even then, why does it seem like Chinese apps look messy and overcrowded when you take into account only text? So the reading direction is the same as the way you're reading now. But in the modern world, books are printed from left to right, horizontally - like in the western world.
Traditionally, the Chinese writing is from ri ght to left, top to bottom.
