KSIF released KSI Font, a two-type typeface created in celebration of the Foundation’s 10th anniversary.

KSI Font was jointly developed by the Foundation in March of this year after signing a business agreement with Hancom Group and Yoondesign Group, with the goal of spreading the use of the Korean language and Hangeul in light of the digital era. KSI Font, a two-type font consisting of KSI Title Font and KSI Body Font, is designed and structured based on Batang Font, which is used most widely when writing in Korean and is therefore familiar to people of other nationalities.

The two types have different thickness and line of writing so that they can be adopted according to the purpose of use. The title Font is thicker, with the line of writing being located towards the top for enhanced focus, whereas the body Font is thinner with the line of writing located towards the top middle for increased readability. The KSI Font is relatively round in shape in terms of edges and corners, and therefore has a handwritten feel, representing the delicateness and warmth of KSIF.
* line of writing: a virtual central reference line when reading from left to right.

The Foundation made the two-type Font available for free through its website, where users can try out the font prior to downloading. In November, the Font will be added to Hancom Asset, a font platform of Hancom, so that it can be used on both the installation-type Hancom Office and the subscription-type Hancom Docs.

Users can download the KSI Font from the Foundation’s website (About the Foundation → Foundation Overview → KSI Font).
