SKT and A.X K2 Create 'Malmoi Font' and Select 100 Pure Korean Words
Published2026.10.07 09:30
The company analyzed scanned versions of the Korean language dictionary manuscript "Malmoi" left by Professor Ju Si-gyeong and his students, along with native Korean word data from the Standard Korean Dictionary and "Urimalssem," a crowdsourced Korean language knowledge encyclopedia, using the AI foundation model "A.X K2" to create the "Malmoi Font" and select 100 pure Korean words.
The book of 100 pure Korean words will be distributed on the 8th and is scheduled to be donated to the National Hangul Museum.
SKT announced that the completed font can be downloaded free of charge from the Korean Language Society website.
The selection results include △'Yunseul' meaning small ripples that sparkle in reflected sunlight or moonlight △'Sutnun' referring to clean snow in its accumulated state △'Boleumul' referring to dimples △'Puthnat' meaning acquaintances familiar enough to recognize each other's faces, and others.
The final list underwent verification by the National Institute of Korean Language.
A campaign video utilizing voice recordings of Korean language scholar Professor Yi Guk-ro, kept at the French National Library, was released on SKT's YouTube channel on the 7th.
The video captures the process of Korean language records from 100 years ago being connected through AI to fonts and speech.
SKT will post reels and card news featuring dialects and new terminology on its official SNS accounts, and plans to provide selected event participants with special edition "2026 Malmoi" books and "2026 Malmoi Font" keycaps through a drawing.
