| To develop the perfection of typography of vehicle license plate which is one of the factor to construct our visual public environment, among the current license plates, `1973-2003 year`s license plate(the province name is written, white on green, two lines)`, `2004 year`s license plate(the province name is omitted, white on green, two lines)`, `2006 year`s license plate(the province name is omitted, black on white, one line)` have examined centrally. Firstly, arranging pattern and space composition of license plate have examined. Secondly, shapes of Korean and number have examined. Lastly, space between the word letters.
As a result, `2004 year`s license plate` has transformed the space in word letter, and aesthetic aspect of word letter has rather declined. Since a margin of the `registered number` has narrowed, the plate becomes difficult to decode and has error in decode. The `2004 year`s license plate` has poorly readable typography. The `2006 year`s license plate` has made sure to have a margin of the `registered number` to higher decode, and has added serif in `number 1` to prevent the confusion with `Korean ㅣ`. However, compacted writing of Korean region in rectangular frame has declined assessment. Lastly, the space of word letter between the `registered number` has discovered to be inconstant which is in need of detailed adjustment.
Thus, to develop the perfection of typography of license plate, 1) the space and the margin of the word letter should be in harmony with each other, 2) the distinction for shape of Korean needs to be improved, and 3) the number should be made based on constant space between word letter, no way to misleading, and difficulty of falsification. Furthermore, continuous study on the improvement of typography to develop of number and Korean fonts used for the license plate is inevitable. |
