- Sandoll, Inc. is a South Korea-based digital typography and creative content software company that develops, licenses, and distributes font products and digital design infrastructure solutions. Founded in 1984 and headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, the company operates across the software and digital media sectors, serving multinational corporations, graphic design agencies, software developers, publishers, media enterprises, and independent creators in South Korea and international markets.
The company's core operations and product portfolio comprise SandollCloud, a proprietary cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) font streaming and subscription platform that provides curated access to extensive libraries of Korean, Latin, and multilingual typefaces; custom corporate typeface design and bespoke brand typography services, encompassing prominent type engineering projects such as Apple SD Gothic Neo for Apple, Malgun Gothic for Microsoft, Nanum font series for Naver, and IBM Plex Sans KR for IBM; multilingual and multi-script font localization and development, including comprehensive Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) character sets; enterprise web font distribution and application programming interface (API) integration services for digital publishing, mobile applications, and web operating systems; and digital font intellectual property (IP) licensing and compliance management. Additionally, the company offers artificial intelligence-enabled software tools, including AI Font Finder for image-based typeface recognition, automated font recommendation engines, and proprietary generative AI font design and production automation software.
In recent developments, Sandoll has expanded its business model toward an integrated AI-driven content creation platform and executed key strategic transactions. In June 2024, the company completed the acquisition of Yoon Design (YoonDesign Group), a major South Korean font foundry, consolidating its domestic market share, expanding its typography intellectual property portfolio, and realizing operational synergies across its subscription platform. Sandoll has also accelerated its technology diversification through strategic alliances, including a partnership agreement with LG CNS to co-develop generative AI image generation solutions and an initiative with ESTsoft to integrate font technology into AI-driven video content. Furthermore, the company continues to expand its global market presence through multilingual font development projects, including the international release of the IBM Plex Sans CJK series, alongside hosting its annual international typography conference, Sandoll SAISIOT.
