Hangul was introduced in 1443 by King Sejong the Great to write Korean language. The ruler wanted to increase the literacy of his people, therefore he designed a phonetic alphabet He wrote in the “user’s manual”: -A wise man can acquaint himself with them before the morning is over; a stupid man can learn them in the space of seven days. This poster is made by Sulki & Min, a specimen for a typeface developed at the AG Typography Institute, based on Choi Jeongho’s original drawings.
