About Hangul 訓民正音
Hangul 訓民正音 is the carbon-black voice of the Hunminjeongeum Haerye — the 1446 woodblock treatise in which King Sejong gave Korea a writing system built from the shapes of the speaking mouth and the 天地人 cosmology. It reads as a Joseon xylograph: vertical right-to-left columns ruled by black frames, set on aged mulberry-bark hanji the color of steeped tea.
This system honours that printed page. Tannin-brown paper carries carbon ink; vermilion appears only as rubrication. Letterforms stay geometric and featural, never softened. The grid is law, the column is the unit, and every accent earns its place.
