Method and full results

Five runs per language in fresh browser contexts with cache disabled. Mobile: 390×844, 1.6 Mbps down, 750 Kbps up, 150 ms added latency, CPU 1×. PC: 1440×900 on the test connection without network throttling.

This is an approximate presentation time, measured two animation frames after initial fonts are ready—not LCP or total page load. CDN, DNS and TLS state were uncontrolled. Results combine reduced character coverage, removal of Text fonts, a single variable font and page changes; they are not a speed guarantee. Missing values are not estimated.

Comparison criteria and sources

Character coverage affects file size. Full covers 11,172 Hangul syllables; Lite covers 2,350. Character counts are Unicode mappings, not glyph counts. Official files are compared without modification. MB means 1,000,000 bytes, not ZIP size. Static TTF is the sum of nine files. Freesentation variable TTF 2.001 has nine named styles, but its actual weight axis is 100–800. Its official release does not include variable WOFF2. Even official formats can have different coverage. SUIT 2.0.5 WOFF2 includes 2,668 Hangul syllables; its TTF includes 11,172.

01 / TYPE YOUR OWN

Your words.
Nine expressions.

Delicate, or full of presence.
See the same sentence in all nine weights.

Loading the typeface…

One variable typeface, nine weights from 100 to 900. For small text, start by trying 400 or 500.

02 / THE CHARACTER

A familiar structure.
A different expression.

A search for balance between restraint and character.
The differences come to life in a sentence.

01

Korean structure,
restrained terminals

Not every stroke needs an ornament. Selected vertical terminals add expression while preserving the clear structure of Korean sans-serif letterforms.

새로운

익숙한 문장이 조금 다르게 읽힙니다.

700 / 400
02

Latin contrast,
a measured rhythm

The Latin forms build on the contrast of the Playfair family. Mix weights and sizes to give a headline its own rhythm.

Quietly
confident.
300 + 900
03

Different sizes and weights.
One shared voice.

Use size and weight to create hierarchy within one typeface. Let the heading stand out while the reading stays calm.

700 / HEADING

Ideas,
in view.

400 / BODY

Read a sentence. Pause for a moment. A quiet rhythm lets the meaning come first, while the letterforms carry it forward.

ACHMAGE SAMETONE 01 / NEW PERSPECTIVES

새로운 시선

A quieter kind of confidence.

다른 크기와 굵기가 만나도, 하나의 이야기로 이어지도록.

16:9 · 900 headings / 400 body

04 / TYPE AS AN IMAGE

Type alone.
A whole scene.

Three imaginary posters.
One family, three distinct expressions.

Imaginary designs made to explore the typeface, not advertisements for real events or publications. All text is set in Achmage SameTone.

05 / WHY SAMETONE

Looking for
a different voice.

The familiarity of a sans serif,
with just a little more serif expression.

When designing presentations, I often place a large English heading next to small Korean text, or mix several weights within one sentence. Forms that looked fine alone could feel awkward together.

Adding terminals to Korean letters turned out to be delicate work. A small detail repeated across consonants and vowels quickly pushed the whole syllable toward a traditional Myeongjo appearance. I chose to preserve the familiar structure and adjust selected details.

Latin contrast, Korean density, numbers and symbols all needed attention. SameTone now brings them into one design with nine weights. A focused character repertoire, excluding Hanja and other ranges, makes room for Full and Lite editions.
