King Sejong the Great invented the Korean alphabet in the 15th century, but two key typeface designers from the modern era shaped it into what it looks like today.
Designers Choi Jeong-ho and Choi Jeong-soon created a blueprint for the Hangeul typeface that's still in use in the present-day, and their creations have made the alphabet more functional and artistically valuable. They designed fonts like Batang Che, which are now essential in the lives of Koreans.
The designers worked out of a sense of duty, as creating fonts did little to alleviate the hardships they would have faced at the time.
The National Hangeul Museum is holding an exhibition of their artifacts and achievements celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of the two designers.
