What style of Chinese character is this?
My girlfriend recently downloaded an app called "Seal Script" to my phone so I can look up old versions of characters. I looked up the characters for "Great Sage Equaling Heaven", and this is the result.

The app calls this style "sharp" but that doesn't help unless I know the actual Chinese name. Can someone please point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.

 * I certainly can't tell one seal script from another, ; but this has labels for the scripts. Does it help at all? --ColinFine (talk) 13:07, 17 October 2018 (UTC)


 * The "heaven" character in that graphic doesn't closely resemble File:天-seal.svg or File:天-bigseal.svg (though certainly closer to the former)... AnonMoos (talk) 15:59, 17 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you both. I'm still not quite sure what the style is. I'll just assume there are subtle variations of seal script. --Ghostexorcist (talk) 17:58, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
