Daegu Bank, Free Distribution of Employee-Created Handwriting Font 'IM Hyeminche'

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Hyo-jin] DGB Daegu Bank announced on the 28th that it has released the font ‘IM Hyeminche’?previously applied only in its dedicated app IM Bank?for general customers and is distributing it for free on its website.

‘IM Hyeminche,’ developed from handwriting by an employee of the bank, is the first employee handwriting font developed in the financial sector. The font name is derived from the name of employee Kim Hye-min, who personally wrote the letters for DGB Daegu Bank’s digital brand IM Bank.

‘IM Hyeminche’ is handwriting carefully and neatly written based on a Gothic typeface. It features a compact, almost square shape with orderly and straight strokes, giving it a neat appearance, and rounded corners that add a cute feeling.

The font is available in two weights?regular and bold?so it can be used evenly for both body text and titles. It supports 11,172 Korean characters, 94 English letters and numbers, and 986 special characters. Additionally, the license is open for anyone to use freely for both commercial and non-commercial purposes.

DGB Daegu Bank applied ‘IM Hyeminche’ first to the mobile version of its customer consultation chatbot ‘Andy (ND),’ launched earlier this month, providing a friendly and soft image in the consultation service instead of the stiffness users might feel from a chatbot.

‘IM Hyeminche’ can be downloaded for free on PC and mobile devices from the official DGB Daegu Bank website or a dedicated site, and users can be guided to the download page by asking the chatbot Andy for font information.
