Pretendard
Pretendard is a Swiss-style sans by Kil Hyung-jin that merges Inter's Latin with Source Han Sans and M PLUS 1p so Korean, Japanese, and Latin text sit together without any size or spacing fixes. Nine weights without italics, plus Cyrillic and Greek and a variable version, make it a default choice for multilingual apps, sites, and documents, and the Latin reads as a close cousin of Inter.
