Before the digital age, the main tools used for printing out letters were pen and brush. Therefore, forms and styles of the languages modelled out during the age also revolved around the pen and brush. However, new tools and techniques introduced in the digital age to express typography put this limit in the shade. In other words, the user can make expressive and experimental typography and typefaces quickly and easily, by learning and utilizing new tools efficiently. As such, this study is to explore those cases, to understand characters and meanings of expressive and experimental typography within the context of typography history, to introduce a new tool, 'Scriptographer' developed by means of the open-source scripting plug-in for Adobe Illustrator, and to discuss the advantages, disadvantages and applicability of this tool.

In 1995, When people read a poem, the image that a poet intends to convey to readers shows in various colors according to the status of their emotion. Poetry is a bridge as well as a text, which connects this world and the poet's world. In such relationship, the communication through Types occurs. The realm of application of modern typography is widening due to the development of the Internet and mass media, and the ways of expression of which are changing with the help of lots of softwares. So, the modern typography is re-born as an organic language which is alive, breathing. Therefore, Types has the structural character similar to that of Typography, which is a language of image, creating today's movement, time, and space. The already existing poetry contains meanings but has a descriptive structures. On contrary, compared with the former, the type appeared in Hangul Concrete Poetry., itself is a poem in another realm due to the formality native to Hangul, and which appears in non-linear structure. So, in this thesis, I will analyze the formality and non-linear structure of Hangul Typography in order to widen the realm of research on typography, which is a very meaningful trial to visualize the literature.
