Author's note

DFHei1B GB, a free Chinese Hei font from DynaLab Inc., has the blunt, poster-like presence of traditional gothic-style Han lettering. The characters feel square and steady, with thick horizontal and vertical strokes, crisp corners, and a compact rhythm that keeps the forms firm even when the brush influence peeks through in the angled finishes.

It works well for packaging, shop signs, book covers, title cards, and short editorial headings where dense Chinese text needs a direct, no-frills tone. As a free font, it also suits labels, cultural event graphics, and interface headers, because the stout letters hold together as compact display text without feeling ornate.
