Author's note

DF Kan Ting Liu 1B, a free Chinese brush-calligraphy font from DynaLab Inc., has the easy swing of sign-painted lettering, with thick rounded strokes and soft, almost inflated ends. The characters feel lively and slightly playful rather than formal, mixing broad horizontal sweeps with compact, knotted joins that keep the texture dense and rhythmic.

This free font fits posters, restaurant branding, festival graphics, title cards, packaging, and short cover lines where you want a handwritten Chinese voice that feels warm and public-facing. It also works well for brief labels or chapter openers, since the heavy, bouncing brush shapes carry a lot of mood without needing many characters.
