WenQuanYi Zen Hei is a Hei-Ti style (sans-serif type) Chinese font. It was designed for general purpose text formatting and on-screen display of Chinese characters among many other languages. The embolden strokes of the font glyphs produces enhanced screen contrast, making it easier to read and recognize.
