Sounds like a strange title right?
Not sure if you have the same experiences, but I feel that my ability to process Korean fonts has a positive correlation with my proficiency in Korean – or rather, the familiarity I have with 한글.
When I first started learning Korean, I can only process one type of font – The very proper font found in most Korean textbooks. My personal favorite is 바탕 or 굴림. Straight, upright and no-nonsense kind of font.
Without realizing, I have grown accustomed to a certain type of font and it was really difficult for me to read a cursive form of Korean or any of those cute fonts. I remembered a mini test I had in my basic class in the Singapore Korean school.
The teacher called us forward one by one and showed us a passage. Typed in those balloon-like, cutesy, slanted font and I was like OMG. I know how to read Hangul but that font was a different matter altogether. I was not the only one having difficulties, most of us were slowed down by the font.
I used to have difficulty with variety show captions too – especially when they have the decorated fonts.
But as time passes and I got more used to reading 한글, font type doesn’t matter that much to me anymore.
Naver Blog has a huge selection of font types and here’s some screenshots. (click to view full size image!)
Can you read them all? ^^ What is your favorite font?
In case you want to download any fonts, you can try googling 한글 글꼴 다운 (korean fonts download).

I like Korean fonts because they can really be soo cute. But yes, it is a struggle reading some overly decorated / too cursive / too narrow font types. Also size matters to me! I hate it if it’s too small that I can barely recognize ㅜ from ㅗ and ㅡ if there’s a 받침. And I also hate some fonts that have very little distinction between a ㅈ and a ㅊ and sometimes even between a ㅈ and an ㅅ.
Just recently I was searching for some stuff *ehem fangirling ehem* on the net. I was sooo happy to find a ‘goldmine’ of really rare information (and no! I’m not a sasaeng fan!ㅠㅠ) – but it was an image and the font used, although one of the upright ones, is too narrow and too small it frustrates me. I ended up asking a Korean friend to transcribe it for me. She laughed when I shyly asked her because she said she also feels the same way towards cursive English and how she hates her English teacher who leaves comments on her essay in cursive English that often takes her all night to ‘decode’.
Proficiency on the language does help. Apart from getting used to seeing and reading different fonts, if one is proficient enough, one can guess/know what could be the ‘unreadable’ word based on context; or that a certain word simply doesn’t exist; or a certain character combination is not possible.
By the way, thanks for the keyword tip!!! Yey! Downloaded a whole bunch of new Korean fonts! I’m getting tired of my old set. ^_^

Great idea for a blog post! I have to admit that i absolutely looove the cutesy style Korean fonts. I often use them on my phone when I take notes. I think self-studying actually helped me tremendously with my reading and I usually don’t have a problem decyphering different fonts either, unless the font size is very small. One font style that I do have a problem with, is the cursive artsy brush-like written style that you often see on movie posters. I’m not sure if I’ll ever get used to those, although they do look very pretty. And then, of course, there also Korean handwriting.. which should really be put into a seperate category all together, for it sometimes makes me doubt whether the writing that I’m looking at is written in Korean at all… ^^;;;

Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari. I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know. The style and design look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon. Kudos
