Abstract

Various researches on content sensibility with the development of digital contents are under way. Emotional research on fonts is also underway in various fields. There is a requirement to use the content expressions in the same way as the content, and to use the font emotion and the textual sensibility of the text in harmony. But it is impossible to select a proper font emotion in Korea because each of more than 6,000 fonts has a certain emotion. In this paper, we analysed emotional classification attributes and constructed the Hangul font recommendation system. Also we verified the credibility and validity of the attributes themselves in order to apply to Korea Hangul fonts. After then, we tested whether general users can find a proper font in a commercial font set through this emotional recommendation system. As a result, when users want to express their emotions in sentences more visually, they can get a recommendation of a Hangul font having a desired emotion by utilizing font-based emotion attribute values collected through the crowdsourced method.
