Pyeojin Gothic
Pyeojin Gothic (펴진고딕) is a neutral, straight-lined Korean sans-serif font that is free to download. It was redesigned and produced by Seo Ji-hwan (서지환), who also goes by Enpapi (엔파피). The name roughly translates to “straightened-out gothic”, and that describes the design well. Many Korean body-text gothics use slightly curved strokes as optical correction. Seo Ji-hwan wanted cleaner, more neutral lines, so he kept curves to a minimum and straightened the strokes. The font is built on Pretendard, with about 2,780 Hangul characters redrawn. The rest of the full 11,172-character Hangul set was kept as it was, so you won’t run into missing glyphs. The Latin letters are based on Inter, and their stroke thickness was adjusted to match the Hangul weight, so mixed Korean and English text looks even. Hanja comes from Noto Sans CJK and the Japanese kana from M PLUS 1p.
Because the design is so neutral, Pyeojin Gothic fits many brand and interface settings. It works well for web and app UI, body text, captions and subtitles, and headlines. The font comes in seven weights from 300 to 900, in OTF, TTF, WOFF and WOFF2 formats. You can download and use this font for free in personal and commercial projects, as it is released under the SIL Open Font License.
