Best use cases

A Chinese typography design prompt featuring a cool, modern graphic design aesthetic. Characterized by elongated glyphs, artistic stroke fractures, and high-contrast black-and-white tones, it delivers a solitary, quiet, yet tense artistic effect. It is highly suitable for Xiaohongshu covers, event posters, WeChat Official Account headers, and other scenarios requiring quick, high-impact visuals. The core value of this prompt is not just styling, but solving the common design pain point: 'having title text but not knowing how to transform it into a memorable key visual.' By locking in the composition and then replacing the text variables, a single template can serve multiple themes.

Visual style

The fundamental tone of 'Cold & Ice-Cracked Style Chinese Typography Design' is minimalism. When reading the image, the priority goes to the generous negative space, readable typographic hierarchy, and the strong compositional relationship, followed by the specific typeface and how the text layout relates to the background. Negative space, hierarchy, and color exist solely to serve this main relationship, yielding a finished design ready for immediate publishing rather than a mere style experiment.

How to generate a new image

1. 1Copy the entire 'Cold & Ice-Cracked Style Chinese Typography Design' prompt, keeping the style, subject, composition, material, lighting, and aspect ratio descriptions intact.
2. 2Change the Font Content and Aspect Ratio slots first, leaving the style and camera descriptions untouched for the initial run.
3. 3Generate 2-4 images using default parameters in GPT-image-2 or your preferred image generator, referencing a 16:9 ratio.
4. 4Evaluate the output against the target Chinese typography design: Check if the subject is distinct, if the information hierarchy is legible, and if the colors and styling match the reference.
5. 5If the output strays from expectations, reduce background clutter first, then reinforce core style terms or adjust the aspect ratio without changing too many variables at once.

With this modification, the visual maintains its minimalist style and Chinese typographic composition logic, but adapts to a new publishing scenario with updated text and dimensions, ready for immediate professional use.

Design a set of Chinese title fonts. Style characteristics: the overall typeface is slender, cold, and restrained, emphasizing the vertical black main strokes, with extremely thin horizontal strokes and designed fractures and negative space between strokes. Each Chinese character looks as if it is compressed into a narrow and tall black stone stele, with thick vertical strokes, slightly rounded edges, and inward-curved lines; local strokes are cut, displaced, or omitted, but still maintain the readability of the Chinese characters. The negative space inside the characters should participate in the composition like slender crevices, ice cracks, and doorways, forming a strong black-and-white contrast. Avoid traditional Chinese brush flying white completely, with no rough calligraphy feel, but rather a cold Chinese typeface of modern graphic design. The text arrangement is tight with small letter-spacing, forming a quiet, lonely, and tense horizontal word band. ———— Background white, font black 本次字体：新品发布 比例4:5

Model and parameter tips

• GPT-image-2：Excellent for Chinese character understanding, typography layouts, and complex graphical relationships. When generating Chinese typography, explicitly state the main subject, aspect ratio, and intent.
• Midjourney：Perfect for stylized mood and composition reference. You can append aspect ratio parameters, though the stability of rendering precise Chinese characters may vary.
• FLUX：Excellent for clean subjects, photographic textures, and graphical structures. Use natural language descriptions and minimize platform-specific command arguments.

How to improve weak results

• If the main subject in 'Cold & Ice-Cracked Style Chinese Typography Design' is not prominent, add phrases like 'centered key visual', 'clean outline', 'generous negative space', or directly name the focal typographic elements.
• When style drifting occurs, supplementing with terms like 'minimalism', 'high-contrast hierarchy', and 'defined textures' is much more effective than just adding emotional aesthetic keywords.
• If the composition is cluttered, strip away background elements, border notes, decorative symbols, and subtitles, keeping only the most critical layout tier.
• For blurry or chaotic text: shorten your copy, emphasize letter-spacing, negative space, hierarchy, and legibility, and reduce complex decorative strokes if necessary.
• To correct colors, explicitly define the primary color, background color, brightness, and saturation instead of using vague subjective phrases like 'premium feel' or 'atmospheric'.
• Adjust ratios to 1:1 / 4:5 / 16:9 / 9:16 based on platform requirements, and reduce the density of minor secondary text accordingly.
