Visual culture was sparked by letters and exploded through type

Letterseed, meaning text, letters, seeds, foundation, and essence, is a collection of research findings published by the Korean Typography Society. This book is the second volume of research compilations and features diverse studies, including Noh Eun-yoo’s paper, Hangeul for Japanese Phonetic Transcription, which defines a Hangeul transcription system for Japanese phonetics using new Hangeul characters, exemplified by Japanese place names and personal names. It also includes a roundtable discussion on Typography Education Abroad, an interview with Helmut Schmid, and other research activities. The content is applicable to Japanese language learning materials, travel guides, and more.
