Standardizing design-based font classification system for Hangul font services

After reviewing the standards document on font-information exchange and several service sites, we suggest Hangul font classification attributes and a system for font-selection services, based on design features. We proved the validity of the classification system by experimenting with 50 commercial fonts. Our proposed system had a more balanced classification and uncertainty elimination when compared to the other systems. As such, the proposed classification attributes could be a basis for classifying aspects of future computer-aided font judgment systems. The results of this study were provided to the Korea Telecommunication Technology Association and were adopted as the Korean industry standard.
