About 87MM Ilsang Design Tipografico
Il font 87MM Ilsang è progettato considerando i valori quotidiani perseguiti dal brand 87MM. Il carattere obliquo in coreano rappresenta il primo tentativo di questo genere in Corea. Interpretando i numeri 8 e 7 come rapporto e angolazione del carattere, l'area delle lettere è stata progettata con uno spazio in rapporto 8:7, mentre la dimensione delle lettere chiuse tra le consonanti dell'Hangeul (alfabeto coreano) è stata regolata secondo questo rapporto. Gli angoli di 8 e 7 gradi sono stati utilizzati come elementi morfologici quali aste e terminali per armonizzare le caratteristiche della scrittura manuale che emergono nella scrittura obliqua.

- Design Challenge
- By interpreting the numbers 8 and 7 as the ratio and angle of the font, the area of the letters was designed as a space of 8:7, and the size of the closed letters among the consonants of Hangeul was adjusted using this ratio. The 8° and 7° angles were used as morphological elements such as a stem and a conclusion to harmonize the characteristics of handwriting that appear when writing sideways.
- Research
- When designing fonts, it is common to expand the font family to thickness. However, in East Asia, along with Korean fonts, there is no concept of Western italic fonts or oblique fonts due to the culture of writing using brushes and writing in the vertical direction. Therefore, the font family was intended to be expanded to general and inclined bodies, not to be expanded by thickness. The oblique font in Korean is the first font to be attempted in Korea.
- Inspiration
- The font of 87MM Ilsang is designed with consideration for the daily value pursued by the 87MM brand. Ordinary days that repeat every day gather to create a daily life. However, even if he repeat the same pattern, He wanted to create a font where he could discover new meanings and fun in ordinary things in his daily life and feel the specialty of something a little different. Therefore, 87MM Ilsang has a unique color of 87MM in its ordinary textual Min-Buri (Sans Serif) font.
