Línea de trabajo

Comienza comparando los glifos de los componentes 辶/之, 凵, 人 y 隹 de IBM Plex Sans SC con las versiones JP y TC, usando las imágenes de referencia del issue. Revisa también los cambios adicionales en 心 y 夕; se consideraría terminado cuando haya un alcance acordado y diseños SC actualizados que conserven el estilo geométrico previsto de IBM Plex.

Escrito por el modelo de indexación a partir del texto del issue.

Descripción

It is unbearable to say the least that Sans SC, in the pursuit of "officialness", had given up plenty of the Plexness that made IBM Plex, well, IBM Plex. There are lots of unnecessary edits in SC that are not present in TC/JP, which lots of them have degraded the quality and beautiness of IBM Plex Sans SC.

The following are some suggestions that can be taken by restoring partially to the JP/TC versions while still being usable in SC. These suggestions are made fully in mind that the "official" GB 18030 standard does not specify these changes in writing.

辶/之 component

This is the component that received the most edit for the worst performance. The geometric-grosteque style of IBM Plex Sans has been lost in favour of curves. I suggest to revert this design back to the JP style as shown below. Plenty of commercial fonts (shown here Alibaba PuHuiTi) maintain the straight legs, at least for 辶.

凵 component at bottom

The current design slants the bottom of 山 while removing one of the leg. Although a viable solution, it still seems unbalanced especially at the extreme weights. It would be better to retain both legs to maintain the balance of this component and maintain the geometric style too. This design is used in PingFang SC, the macOS/iOS system font.

人 component on left/top

The original design in JP/TC calls for a symmetrical design for 人 on the left side, consistent with the geometric design style. SC forcibly changes all of these to match writing tradition, which violates the design language and leave a sore point for readers as the left curve takes more space than usual while having the head looks chopped-off too. This is even more noticeable in 釒, 飠 and 龠 component.

隹 component on top

There is no reason to add the feet of 隹 when on top. This just breaks the geometric design with additional decorations. Plenty of commercial fonts (shown here Alibaba PuHuiTi) do not have the legs.

Additional minor adjustments

There are more additional changes in SC that are modified to suit the "official" standard, which are too long to be listed here. Notable changes includes 心 and 夕 components which had major restructring, as well as a few more components. These are not expected to be reverted to JP/TC, but will be better if so.
