Speaker Chorong Kim

Chorong Kim is a type designer who explores the intersection of design, technology, and culture through her work, teaching, and public talks. She studied type design in France before beginning her professional career at Cadson Demak in Bangkok, and later joined Sandoll in Seoul. Over 10 years there, she contributed as both type designer and design director to projects for major clients such as Naver and IBM, and also managed Sandoll Cloud, the subscription-based font platform, which gave her a broader perspective beyond traditional design practice. Today, she is a Senior Type Designer at Monotype, specializing in Korean and Latin, and works closely with international colleagues to raise the quality of both design and service. She regularly teaches, leads workshops, and speaks at global conferences, including ATypI. Outside her professional life, she is passionate about music—both listening and playing—and is an avid cat lover.
