Bithumb releases free brand typeface 'Bithumb Gothic' to mark 100th Hangul Day

Bithumb said Thursday it will release two versions of its proprietary brand typeface, Bithumb Gothic, free of charge to mark the 100th anniversary of Hangul Day.

Bithumb Gothic comes in two variants — Original and Basic. The company said the typeface was designed with thick strokes, a balanced visual weight and a full square-block form to convey stability and trustworthiness.

During development, the company adjusted the letterforms' angle and weight in response to feedback from employees who asked for a wider range of applications.

Bithumb plans to apply the new typeface to external events, its official YouTube channel and partner services. The company also intends to register it on Noonnu, a free font platform, to expand distribution.

"It is deeply meaningful to unveil the Bithumb typeface at such a significant moment as the 100th anniversary of Hangul Day," a Bithumb official said. "We will continue developing a variety of fonts so that users can enjoy a useful typeface while at the same time experiencing the Bithumb brand."

Meanwhile, Bithumb recently donated 300 blood donation certificates to the Korea Marrow Donor Program. The company has held a blood donation drive every quarter since 2022.
