Sandoll, a leading creator content platform (CEO Young-ho Yun), has taken the initiative to spread a safe font usage culture to the early childhood education sector.


Sandoll announced on the 27th that it has signed a strategic business agreement with Bicycle Co., Ltd. (CEO Lee Do-hee), a company specializing in integrated education content and services for early childhood.


This partnership between Sandoll and Bicycle holds significant meaning as it aims to extend a safe font culture to the early childhood education sector, in addition to elementary, middle, and high schools.


Bicycle has been providing music-centered play-based programs called "Play Songs" planned by music therapists since 2007, as well as operating a play school called "Charlie's Big Red House," offering bilingual communication opportunities from infancy to early childhood. Leveraging 16 years of accumulated data in early childhood education, Bicycle has digitalized verified programs based on real-world experiences, establishing overwhelming competitiveness within the industry.


The agreement between the two companies aims to build high-quality educational services for emotional and creative development in young children by providing a highly readable Korean font experience that is well implemented in all digital device environments, in addition to paper-based educational materials.


Based on mutual trust, both parties plan to establish a continuous and successful cooperative relationship to facilitate effective development of teaching aids and materials for emotional development in young children using Sandoll fonts. To achieve this, they have agreed to explore various cooperative measures, including the exchange of knowledge and information, as well as organic collaboration and promotion utilizing available resources.


The main objectives of the agreement include △ developing educational content and programs, educational tools using Sandoll fonts △ creating a safe font usage culture △ promoting works and engaging in marketing activities.


Young-ho Yun, CEO of Sandoll, expressed hopes that "this agreement will contribute to the creation of beneficial and creative educational programs for the growth of young children" and stated that "we will continue to explore mutual efforts with Bicycle to support font usage."


Lee Do-hee, CEO of Bicycle, remarked, "Young children's creativity and sensory development are influenced by the visual stimuli they encounter in educational settings or through educational materials." He expressed gratitude to Sandoll for supporting the use of fonts with high readability and aesthetics in educational materials for children and anticipated that such efforts would ultimately yield positive results in future investments.


Meanwhile, Sandoll, as the leading font company in Korea, continues to lead various activities to establish a safe font usage culture and expand its business scope. With a focus on font technology development and business reference expansion through acquisitions of companies and AI technologies, the company is set to officially launch Sandoll Cloud web fonts next month, leveraging its proprietary patented technology to provide a more convenient service for using Korean fonts on web pages. Visible achievements are expected in the domestic market as a result of these efforts.
