FAQ
Do I need a license to use Zihun Biantao in commercial work?
Open source and free for commercial use by anyone. For long-term uses such as logos or trademarks, it is worth confirming with the author or publisher.
Does Zihun Biantao support Simplified Chinese, or are characters missing?
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 Zihun Biantao good for body text?
Generally no. Zihun Biantao is strongest in short lines at large sizes and loses readability in body text; set only key words or numbers in Zihun Biantao and the rest in LXGW Neo XiHei.
How do I install Zihun Biantao?
Download the files from the Netdisk link and unzip them, then double-click the .ttf or .otf file and choose Install (Windows) or Install Font (macOS). Restart your design app and search for "字魂扁桃体" in the font list.
