Speaker at ATypI 2019 in Tokyo on the topic of Building Hangul like an Architect: Utilizing Variable Fonts: In order to handle 11,172 glyphs of Hangul, designers often take an architect-like approach: they carefully devise a system to maintain consistency across all glyphs. This can't be done without sophisticated technology. Focusing on Smart Components and extensions in Glyphs 2, this presentation discusses how to categorize characters and how to create a Hangul development system.

IBM Plex Sans KR (2019; by Mike Abbink, Paul van der Laan, Pieter van Rosmalen, Wujin Sim, Chorong Kim and Dohee Lee) is a free multilingual typeface at Google Fonts.
