The Busan Metropolitan Office of Education has released two AI-developed Korean fonts for free public use, becoming the first city and provincial education office in South Korea to do so. The move makes the fonts available to schools, students and the general public at no cost.
The release marks a first of its kind among Korea's city and provincial education offices. By adopting AI in the font development process, the office reduced the time and cost typically required to produce Korean typefaces, which involve the design of thousands of glyphs.
The two fonts are distributed free of charge, allowing anyone — including schools, teachers and the public — to use them. Free distribution is expected to encourage wider use of Hangul typefaces in educational materials and digital content.
The details of the fonts' development timeline and licensing terms were not specified in the available information.
The claim that the Busan Metropolitan Office of Education became the first city and provincial education office in Korea to release two AI Korean fonts for free is Mostly True.
