Kakao Entertainment Webtoon platform Kakao Webtoon will introduce a mobile font platform called Beiki, which operates content creator platform company Sandol, and a new mobile font based on popular character cartoons. The collaboration between Character Tun and mobile font brands, which are popular among the younger generation, is drawing attention.

Kakao Entertainment announced on the 30th that the new mobile font "Iam Dust Jjangdeok" (IOS only) produced by Sandol based on the contents and concept of the Kakao Webtoon "Dust Jjangdeok" was released. New fonts can be installed and used after purchasing fonts on Sandol mobile font platform BAKI, and can be used for various applications such as KakaoTalk, MS office, Notability, and VLLO.

The Kakao Webtoon "Dust Bulk Jjangdeok" painted by Pennak is a work based on the popular emoticon "Jjangdeok" and is loved for its cute and lively appearance of the black kitten Jjangdeok. The mobile font "Iam Dust Jjangduck" unravels the unique and cute identity of the Jjangduck character in writing. It is a stable square-shaped font that looks like a cat crouched in a box, adding a cozy handwriting texture that seems to be pressed and written with cotton bat front feet to increase the degree of completion. In particular, it is equipped with a "Hidden Dingbet" function that shows character illustrations when combining specific characters for user fun. Color font technology is also applied, so you can see the unique bouncy colors of the Jjangdeok character in the support environment.

This collaboration between Kakao Webtoon and Sandol is designed to expand the base of IP secondary creation and convey new joy to readers through collaboration between popular character Tun and mobile fonts, which are receiving great attention from the 10s and 20s generation. Kakao Webtoon has recently introduced a variety of popular character cartoons such as "Dust Bulk Jjangdeok," "GO Rani's Independence Diary," "Mungnyang Family," and "UniUnitun," and on January 26, it released a new work called "Horongforong Living Together," a remake of Pennak's past Instatun.

Various events commemorating the release of the font will also be held until March 2. First of all, all Kakao Webtoon readers will be given a two-week free pass to use the "Iam Dust Jjangduck" font when signing up for membership in the Sandol Bakey app (IOS). In addition, during this period, three mobile fonts that go well with another popular character, "The Puppy-Nyang Family," "Unitun," and "Horong Porong Living Together Diary," will be selected and offered at 1,000 won discount on the Becky app. At the same time, several cash events for character-tune readers will also be held on Kakao Webtoon.

Kakao Entertainment and Sandol will continue to explore various ways to collaborate. Kakao Webtoon and Sandol Cloud have partnered since 2014 to create an environment where creators can focus on their works without font constraints. So far, more than 300 artists have used Sandol fonts to produce more than 250 works. In addition, in 2016, it developed a "microbe" that saved Yoon Tae-ho's handwriting, distributed free of charge to creators, and collaborated on webtoon-based Kakao emoticons.
