Kyobo Bookstore, Free Distribution of 'Kyobo Handwriting 2022 Kim Hyenam' Font

Kyobo Book Centre announced on the 3rd that it has released the ‘Kyobo Songeulssi 2022 Kim Hyenam’ font and is distributing it for free.

The font is based on the handwriting of Kim Hyenam, who won the grand prize in the general category at last year’s 8th Kyobo Songeulssi Competition. At the time of winning, Kim Hyenam was 82 years old, making her the oldest winner in the competition’s history and attracting attention.

The font was produced by Yoon Design Group. It preserves the distinctive characteristics of handwriting in the flow and bends of the letters while enhancing readability and legibility. The difference in thickness between horizontal and vertical strokes is small, and the overall letter shape is a vertically long and thin pen-style script, making it suitable for lyrical body text.

‘Kyobo Songeulssi 2022 Kim Hyenam’ is the fourth font created from winning entries of the Kyobo Songeulssi Competition. Including previous winning fonts, it is available for free download on the Kyobo Book Centre website and official Instagram channel. Additionally, it can be freely used in various fields such as printed materials, web, mobile, advertisements, and video content.

Kyobo Book Centre will give away prizes by lottery to those who follow the official Instagram channel and share related posts by the 20th.

This year, starting with the ‘9th Kyobo Songeulssi Competition’ on May 2nd, a campaign to promote handwriting culture will be implemented.
