Banya(반야) is a Hangul serif typeface that blends traditional brush strokes with woodblock carving. This typeface was inspired by Buddhist scriptures, which is presumed to have been published as a woodblock print in the early 20th century. Overall, it exudes a sharp and solid feel from being carved into wood, while simultaneously conveying the delicate and unique shapes of brush strokes. For example, the shape of the letters “ieung(ㅇ)” and “yu(ㅠ)” emphasize the feeling of being written with a brush, whereas the letters “digeut(ㄷ)” and “mieum(ㅁ)” incorporate a slight stencil-like effect to highlight the carved form. Banya comes in versions ranging from Light to Bold for body text, with a Black version designed for titles. As the weight increases, the distinguishing features become more pronounced and expanded, making the details more noticeable. Banya and Banya Mist work best as a pair, amplifying each other’s impact when used together.
