About Pretendard Font

Pretendard is a sans-serif family that combines the clean base glyphs from Inter with extensive Hangeul character coverage from Noto Sans CJK, assembled by Kil Hyung-jin and distributed under the Open Font License. With 14,716 glyphs and support for 572+ languages across Latin-based scripts and Korean characters, this font bridges global design needs in a single, cohesive typeface that handles both Latin and non-Latin writing systems with equal thoughtfulness.

The breadth of language support makes Pretendard an exceptional choice for projects requiring multilingual typography. Web designers favor it for interfaces serving international audiences, while brand teams use it for packaging and signage that must communicate clearly across language barriers. Publishers of educational materials, technical documentation, and international marketing campaigns have found it equally reliable, and it works beautifully in app UI labels and interface elements where readability matters across cultures. The font's grounded, approachable character works equally well in professional corporate settings and contemporary digital products.

Available for both personal and commercial use under the OFL, Pretendard brings no licensing complications to your workflow. Pair it with a serif display font when you need visual contrast, or use it throughout your entire system for maximum consistency; the extensive glyph set ensures cohesion regardless of the languages your audience speaks.
