SungSans

A hybrid typeface combining LINE Seed KR (Korean/CJK) and Lexend (Latin) into a single, harmonious font family.

Designed by Insung Cho.


Design

SungSans pairs the two fonts with carefully chosen weight mappings so that Korean and Latin text appear visually balanced side by side:

SungSans CJK / Slash Latin
Thin (100) LINE Seed KR Thin Lexend 130
Regular (400) LINE Seed KR Regular Lexend Light (300)
Bold (700) LINE Seed KR Bold Lexend Medium (500)

The slash character (/) always follows the Seed weight to preserve Korean typographic consistency.


Files

fonts/
  ttf/          Source TTF — for desktop / app use
  woff2/        Full WOFF2 — for web use (single file per weight)

webfonts/
  sungsans.css          @font-face using full WOFF2
  sungsans-dynamic.css  @font-face with unicode-range subsets (recommended for web)
  subset/       Per-range WOFF2 subsets — browsers download only what's visible

Usage

Option 1 — Full web font (simple)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/bf-dev/sungsans/webfonts/sungsans.css">
body {
  font-family: 'SungSans', sans-serif;
  font-weight: 400;
}

Option 2 — Dynamic subsetting (recommended)

Browsers only download the unicode subsets actually rendered on screen — significantly faster for pages that mix Latin and Korean.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/bf-dev/sungsans/webfonts/sungsans-dynamic.css">
body {
  font-family: 'SungSans', sans-serif;
}

h1 { font-weight: 700; }
p  { font-weight: 400; }

Self-hosted

  1. Copy the fonts/ and webfonts/ directories to your project.
  2. Adjust the src URLs in the CSS files to match your directory layout.
