strictly speaking, "Kai" is not a serif style; it is a brush style,
rather closer to "cursive"; additionally, because in Kai style, most
outlines are not parallel to x/y axes, after AA, the glyph will look
blurrier than those do.

I still believe UMing (song-style) is the better choice for serif. I
suggest you waiting for a few more days and collect more inputs. kaio
seemed to be the only user supported UKai.
