Dollar Dry Ink SC

Modern Liu Jian Mao Cao plus algorithmic internal texture; not a reconstruction of historical flying-white brush technique. Tapered internal ink voids evoke dry ink; fine strokes and exterior edges remain intact.

Coverage and use

Character coverage is inherited from the licensed foundation. The specimen is a sample, not a promise of complete language support. Check the included coverage and provenance files for your project.

A licensed derivative, not independently hand-drawn outlines.

Automated shaping proofs do not replace review by a fluent reader.

Decorative display treatment; joining strokes, dense characters and formulas need visual review at the intended size.

Simplified-oriented brush source with limited Traditional Chinese coverage. Missing characters are not filled from another style.
