The Korean Alphabet: Description of Its History, Form, and Structure — risograph publication2026


6"x9" saddle stitch, 80lb text paper, risograph print, 3 inks

This publication provides an overview of the historical context in which King Sejong of the Joseon Dynasty invented the Korean alphabet in the 15th century. Determined to strengthen his country by empowering the masses, he developed an alphabet perfectly matched to the Korean spoken language and was easy to learn and use. This gave most of the population access to literacy and knowledge, laying a strong foundation for independent cultural development. This publication features a detailed description of the alphabet with charts and graphics.
