강조 및 인용 표시를 위한 한글 글자체 디자인

Punctuation marks that are used in the typography of Korean & English or Korean translated texts are more frequently used in Korean texts than in English texts. This is because there is no italic font in Korean when typesetting English so they replace it with punctuation marks. This study is to research the possibility of a Korean italic font like the Roman alphabet italics. This is also a further study of font design and an attempt in designing italics in Korea. After driving out the frame of handwritten fonts such as italics of the Roman alphabet in Korean, we will study the ways to design fonts and try mixed typesetting of Korean italics and Korean normal fonts using to designed fonts. We are to figure out differences among the cases of adapting the Revision of Punctuation Marks made by the National Institute of Korean Language and the independent manuals of the open books. We will categorize the punctuation marks that are necessary and that have overlapped functions when using punctuation marks, attempting to replacing them with italics and maintaining visual refinement when mix-typesetting Korean normal fonts and Korean italics, lastly we will test if they are discriminable. This study is to suggest ways to design Korean italic fonts that are equivalent to italics in the Roman alphabet to indicate emphasis and citation in Korean fonts.
