The Chinese characters for John

How John is written

Moying draws each letter of John with a brush font made for Chinese calligraphy, so the name keeps its spelling but gains the weight, stroke and ink-on-paper texture of traditional writing. Five styles are available — Neat, Regular, Flowing, Grass and Wild — along with horizontal or vertical layout.
