Author's note

DFKaiShu Medium 1B, from DynaLab Inc., is a free Chinese Kai-style font with the poised, brush-written rhythm of formal calligraphy. The characters balance steady verticals with sharp, lifted stroke endings and soft swelling curves, giving the letters a composed but still hand-made presence.

It fits naturally in cultural posters, book covers, restaurant branding, title cards, and editorial headings where a traditional written tone matters more than plain utility. Used as a free font for short lines, chapter openers, certificates, or packaging names, it brings the ceremonial feel of ink-brush writing without drifting into ornate decoration.
