Noto might not be the best choice on a website, due to its heavy size. We have cut off the number of characters from 11,172 to 2,350. Spoqa Han Sans Neo now reduced its size down to 441KB, which was 16MB in the initial version.
Now we release the latest version, Spoqa Han Sans Neo.

*We would like to thank designer Wi Ye-jin for her advice on typography.
We unveil evolved Spoqa Han Sans Neo
There were both angular and round glyphs in the previous Spoqa Sans which gave heterogeneous feelings. We angled the shapes of the other round glyphs in Spoqa Hans Neo, to match the number glyphs of the Lato font. The legibility and uniformity of the font were improved through this modification. EM size glyphs were also modified to make the same impression when writing text in multiple languages, including Japanese.
We adjusted the length of the bounding box to the normal size. We Found and deleted glyphs that are rarely used but abnormally long. Now, you can use Spoqa Han Sans Neo without any extra adjustment in the Adobe program and Android studio.
We added Medium weight, a font style between ‘Regular’ and ‘Bold’. While the thickness difference between Regular and Bold is large, the lack of weights in the middle limited the design. The use of fonts has become wider and more beautiful typography is possible by adding Medium weight.
Carets are often used along with “learn more” or “back” labels. We added caret glyphs to PUA (Private Use Areas). Therefore, Spoqa Han Sans Neo provides caret with higher consistency among text labels, and also cuts off time to work on a caret icon.
Spoqa Han Sans Neo supports OTF and WOFF2 formats based on Postscript Curve, unlike before when only TTFs were supported. When you use it as a webfont in Windows, the font is printed more clearly and can be used in high-resolution printouts.
We improved usability by adding additional characters to the complete code system of Hangeul. Subset of the latest version Spoqa Han Sans Neo provides a total of 2,574 characters plus 224 additional characters. Learn more from “Proposal for Additional Korean Characters in Complete Code of Hangeul”.
We changed the shape of Guillemet to match other letters. We changed corner brackets and arrow brackets to have halfwidth forms instead of fullwidth. So every user can use it in general-purpose applications and web environments without additional setting.
