ClearType-optimised sans-serif Chinese face commissioned by Microsoft from 方正 (Founder) in 2007 for Windows Vista, and the default Simplified Chinese UI font from Vista onwards. Essentially the Chinese-web equivalent of 'Helvetica everywhere' — unmissable on any mainland website of the last 15 years. 雅黑 = 'elegant Hei', where 黑体 is the sans-serif class.
