《AG Madang Display》 was designed based on the original drawings of ‘Madang-che’, owned by the AGTI. The 11,172 letters of the hangeul is derived from the 174 original letter designs and the latin was later developed to embody the characteristics of the hangeul. The original drawings were drawn by designer Ahn Sang-soo when he was working as an art director for the magazine 『Madang』, and it is a square-set design that precedes the design of “Ahn Sang-soo” typeface from 1995. It has a characteristics of extremely small counter spaces and very tight letter spacing, with the consonants and the letter widths designed to be irregular. In addition, it is composed of geometric shapes that exclude curves as much as possible because it is drawn as if it was drafted on graph paper, and the small counter space evokes the style of retro lettering. 《AG Madang Display》 maintains the tight letter space, which is the main characteristic of the original drawing of ‘Madang-che’, and the constants are adjusted to be uniform in size. It is a variable-width font that uses a grid to refine the irregular character widths shown in the original drawing into 9 types. All strokes, spaces, and letter spacing move within strict rules defined by the grid, and when typeset, a line of vision is formed on the upper side for Korean, Latin capital letters, and numbers, while another line of vision is formed on the lower side for Latin lowercase letters. 《AG Madang Display》 combines strict rules to the retro vibes of the 80s and 90s, adding a new impression to match with the modern uses.
All strokes, spaces, and letter spacing move within strict rules defined by the grid.
