NEXT WEEK
Lecture on Hangeul script history and typography with Min-Young Kim!

This lecture will examine the historical development of Hangeul, from early metal type to contemporary digital fonts, and explore how these technological shifts have shaped the letterforms we use today. What kinds of type classifications exist in Hangeul, and how did they emerge? Why did Hangeul appear “sans-serif” or rounded in its earliest forms in 1443—centuries before the rise of sans-serif in the Latin tradition?

2-sessions workshop on:
Hangeul Type Design, with non-square style!! 🤩😎
with Mingoo Yoon & Min-Young Kim

In this workshop, you will design a set of non-square style Hangeul. The non-square style is also known as “out-of-the-box” – as the name suggests, the letterform is designed to be fully proportional, free from the embox. By learning Hangeul type design from this style, you can further develop your understanding of the structure of Hangeul Jaso (basic letter components).

hangul

Context: Sejong the Great of Korea, created the Korean alphabet (mostly) by himself. This replaced the earlier use of the Chinese alphabet.

I tried to look up "dinner" in Korean on papago but instead it told me I was looking up "discharged from the military" 👀
