No. Bagoss is a paid sans serif from Displaay. Every alternative on this page is free for commercial use, under the SIL Open Font License and Public domain (CC0).
How were these alternatives chosen?
By measuring the letters, not by comparing names or tags. Bagoss was measured as displaay.net, October 23rd draws it: its proportions, the width of every letter and figure, its weight, its stroke contrast and the shapes of telling letters like a, g, R and Q. The same measurements were taken of 1,506 free fonts, and these came closest. Each match was then checked by eye.
Will Pretendard change my layout?
Not if you use the CSS on this page. It sets Pretendard 2.6% larger with a touch less letter-spacing, so text written for Bagoss keeps its x-height and its line lengths, and lines break in the same places.
