Do you know Han-geul?

I received in my mail this morning this very interesting package about korean experimental typography.

Here are some words from people who created this project:

We/A2B are paying attention to Han-geul as a simplistic, combinative and scientific character. Perceiving it as a typographic possibility, Han-geul has many similarities with the building brick toy. We hope to introduce this to other countries with postcards using Han-geul fonts that we have designed. By sending these postcards around the world and collecting the responses, we plan to make a book about people’s thoughts on the Korean alphabet, Han-geul.

A2B is Changeun, E (A senior at Dankook University) and Donghyeog, Shin (A junior at Dankook University).

Keep definitely an eye on this upcoming project…

    Han-geul looks great, if there was ever a language I wanted to learn purely for typographical purposes, it’d be Korean. I am fond of South Korean film posters in general because of the Han-geul designs.
