About this font

Douyin MeihaoTi (Douyin Good-Life) is the official display face from Douyin Design Center for a 'bright, trendy, youthful' brand language: structure grows from conventional hei with warm, rhythmic strokes - rounded terminals and lively weight contrast - that read energetic and memorable at poster size across Douyin's brand kits, posters, banners and short-video titles. It is distributed through an official WeChat article that also states the commercial terms: free for personal and commercial work covering ads, promotions, interfaces and content creation. Compared with generic system heis it carries far more personality at display sizes, great for grabs-the-eye campaign visuals. It is a display face first - pair it with a proper body font for long text and tiny sizes. Always re-check the official article for the latest licence wording, especially around trademark and special commercial use.

Where it works best

For short-video covers, operation banners, campaign key visuals, festival promos and brand slogans. Use it at display sizes; pair Regular text with a legible body font.
