FAQ
Is Huiwen Ganghei free for commercial projects?
Free for personal and commercial use. Terms can change between versions, so double-check the official notice before commercial release.
How complete is the character set of Huiwen Ganghei?
The release notes do not list the full character set, so coverage of Simplified, Traditional or Japanese cannot be confirmed. Test it with your real copy after downloading before using it in production.
Is Huiwen Ganghei good for body text?
Not really. Huiwen Ganghei is built for headlines; its strong personality gets crowded in long paragraphs. Use Huiwen Ganghei for titles and leave body text to a neutral face such as Alibaba PuHuiTi.

Download the files from the Netdisk link and unzip them, then on Windows right-click and choose Install for all users; on macOS open it in Font Book and install. Restart your design app and search for "汇文港黑" in the font list.
