The typeface is now more than a simple font, it is a design voicingIt also became a brand imagesIt can also be.

Lettering is a designer's competitive edge.

Even if I found one, I had to entrust the lettering for fear that other brands might have already used it, or that I wouldn't be able to create a unique image unique to my own brand.

A font that is unique to the company, such as a logo type or a dedicated font, is an effective way to establish its own identity. The demand for logo types and title lettering is bound to grow even more It's not there.

As you can see, the name Kalguksu comes from the letter form. It can be said that it is close to the humanist sans serif in shape, and if the letter has a base, it is designed to have the effect of being spilled out due to partial neutrality and servility.

Hallo Among the letters and images that are the two pillars of graphic design, characters that are mainly engaged in letter-related (typographic) designadorationOne ofcorrespondingHoon·ohsirIt's a subclass. We love all characters, and we're doing our best to present beautiful and diverse fonts yesterday, today, and tomorrow.

People always communicate with letters, so the importance of letters in design cannot be overemphasized. However, compared to these basic attributes, there are too few online channels that give you a systematic and uninformed way to handle characters. Of course, there are many excellent educators in this field, but it is true that they are limited in meeting the needs of all graphic designers.

Typography, which is the foundation of design, can be broadly divided into two categories: ① the work of creating letters/ ② the work of dealing with the created characters. We are How can I start with ① and move on naturally to ② I'll help you step by step.

The writing team has come this far and is planning to continue, admiring the beauty of the black and white of the letters. However, as much as we work hard, I think it is just as important as direct work to create a diverse visual landscape around us by expanding the world of work for many people who come into contact with shared knowledge.

If you just want to “draw letters,” it's enough as a practical preparation. Instead of instilling knowledge unilaterally, I will work with the mindset of walking with the participants. Let's fall in love with the charms of letters!
