Author's note

DF Xing Shu Medium 1B, from DynaLab Inc., is a free Chinese xingshu brush-script font with the easy flow of handwritten signage. The letters lean on lively, tapered strokes and quick directional turns, giving the whole design a semi-cursive rhythm that feels practiced rather than formal.

It fits editorial mastheads, restaurant branding, cultural event posters, packaging, and title cards where a human brush touch matters more than strict uniformity. As a free font, it also makes sense for short cover lines, chapter openers, and expressive logotypes, because the strokes keep their motion and contrast even in just a few large characters.
