About 87MM Ilsang Dearadh Cló

Tá cló 87MM Ilsang deartha le haird ar an luach laethúil a leanann branda 87MM. Is é an cló claon i gCóiréis an chéad chló dá leithéid a trialaíodh sa Chóiré. Trí na huimhreacha 8 agus 7 a léiriú mar chóimheas agus uillinn an chló, dearadh achar na litreacha mar spás de 8:7, agus coigeartaíodh méid na litreacha dúnta i measc chonsain Hangeul (Aibítir na Cóiré) ag baint úsáide as an gcóimheas seo. Úsáideadh na huillinneacha 8 agus 7 céim mar eilimintí moirfeolaíocha cosúil le gas agus críoch chun tréithe na lámhscríbhneoireachta a léirítear nuair a scríobhtar go claon a chomhchuibhiú.

Tags: 87MM, brand font, font, design, graphic, typography
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.
Project Duration: The project began in Seoul, South Korea in March 2021 and ended in January 2022. You can download and use the font for free from January 2022.
Operation Flow: The value of daily life in the 87MM brand is special. In 2021, to mark the 10th anniversary of its establishment, fonts, an important means of expression that he use on a daily basis, were reinterpreted into the wit possessed by 87MM and introduced into two fonts: 87MM Ilsang Regular and 87MM Ilsang Oblique. Through fonts, he wants to evoke the importance of daily life, become the beginning of people who are interested in fashion, and become a brand that shares daily life.
