Yun Dong-ju’s Prologue (1941), from Sky, Wind, Stars and Poems.

죽는 날까지 하늘을 우러러
한 점 부끄럼이 없기를,
잎새에 이는 바람에도
나는 괴로워했다.
별을 노래하는 마음으로
모든 죽어 가는 것을 사랑해야지
그리고 나한테 주어진 길을
걸어가야겠다.

05 / Questions

Questions about Black Han Sans

Answered from its licence and its font file

Is Black Han Sans free for commercial use?

Yes. Black Han Sans is under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 , which allows commercial use at any scale: print, websites, apps, videos and logos, for clients and in products. What it forbids is selling the font file on its own.

How do I download and install Black Han Sans?

FontKind doesn’t host Black Han Sans’s files: it comes free from Google Fonts . On its page there, choose Get font, then Download all, and unzip the file: it holds a single font file. On Windows or a Mac, double-click each font file and choose Install, then restart any app that was open.

Does Black Han Sans cover every Hangul syllable?

Black Han Sans draws 2,581 of the 11,172 modern Hangul syllables. That is more than the 2,350 of KS X 1001, the standard set for everyday Korean, so a rarer syllable may come out in another font.

How do I use Black Han Sans on a website?

Through Google Fonts: its stylesheet cuts Black Han Sans into about a hundred small files by character, and a browser downloads only those holding the characters a page shows, never the whole 975 KB Regular file. To host it yourself, cut it down to the characters your pages use, a step called subsetting, and serve it as WOFF2: the SIL Open Font License allows that, under a name of your own if the font reserves its name.

Can I use Black Han Sans in a game or an app?

Yes. The SIL Open Font License lets you build Black Han Sans into a game, an app or an e-book, sold or free, with no separate licence to buy, as many paid fonts require. Ship its licence with the font files, and don’t sell the font on its own.

How many weights does Black Han Sans have?

Black Han Sans comes in one weight, Regular (400). Ask for bold and most apps thicken the letters themselves: a faux bold, not a drawn one.

Does Black Han Sans have English letters?

Yes: Black Han Sans draws all 52 letters of the English alphabet, so a line that mixes Korean and English can stay in one font.

Who designed Black Han Sans?

Black Han Sans was designed by Zess Type. It has been on Google Fonts since February 2018.

What fonts are similar to Black Han Sans?

The most used Korean display fonts besides Black Han Sans are Jua, Dongle and Do Hyeon. See every Display font for Korean.
