Malgun Gothic (Korean맑은 고딕; RRMalgeun Godik) is a Korean sans-serif typeface developed by Sandoll Communications, with hinting by Monotype Imaging,[1] as a replacement of Dotum and Gulim as the default system font for the Korean language. It was first shipped with Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, being available to download later for Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 users.[2] The name "malgun" means "clear" in Korean, thus making a direct translation of the font's name "Clear Gothic."
