RESEARCH ABSTRACT: -
CHALLENGE: Yoondesign was a future-oriented company with the very first developing digital Korean fonts, but over time, the company became a traditional font design company. The "traditional" identity had a stumbling block to expand the design domain through font design. Thus, they try to regain the future-oriented image through the renewal of identity, and to create a new design spectrum through experimental exchange of various cultures with various people using fonts.
