Author's note

DF Li Song Medium 1B by DynaLab Inc. is a free Song-style Chinese font with the crisp, literary poise of classic Ming printing. The letters balance sharp flared strokes with neat, squared structure, so the overall feel is formal and cultured rather than ornamental.

It fits editorial mastheads, book jackets, cultural posters, title cards, and restaurant branding where a traditional Chinese voice needs real typographic authority. As a free font, it also works well for short headlines and cover lines, since those tapering stroke endings and steady vertical rhythm give brief text a composed, printed character.
