캘리그래피를 활용한 한글 서체 표현유형 연구

초록

Calligraphy is a very expressive font style that gives a sense of beauty and fresh impression. There are unlimited functions and the range of calligraphic expressions since it can be expressed as appropriate for the literary messages and characteristics. Therefore, this study aims to classify the expression styles of existing traditional fonts and currently used Hangeul fonts and calligraphy and examine how these styles were modified for use in novel expressive ways. The range of calligraphy usage was limited to Hangeul and the classification of calligraphy that have been in existence based on historical background was limited to the classification of hand-written styles. Among the calligraphic expression styles, the traditional hand-written styles are characterized by their similarity to by their distinct circular, rectangular and sharp angles, uniform thickness of strokes and solemness of impression. Although these styles are used in the media that carry traditional contents but their low capacity of drawing attentions limits them from wide usage. The modified fonts from the traditional fonts are basically the traditional Hangeul fonts but angluar parts are smoothed out with curved strokes and varied thickness of strokes are applied to emphasize attention drawing function. Each creative font has unique calligraphic charm using free strokes to render it an ornamental effect and unstable strokes and scratches to add a sense of texture. The fact that there is a growing interest in calligraphy design in a wide vareity of fields indicates that the characters, the basic objects of design, not only function as the conveyors of meaning but now also play the role of an artistic expression function.
