Kanit

One of the most widely used loopless Thai fonts, with squared curves and a confident, modern stance. Nine weights from thin to black, each with an italic, make it a workhorse for headlines, branding and interfaces. In long text the heavier weights can feel dense, so step down a weight for paragraphs.

The OFL allows converting or subsetting the files for the web, as long as the licence stays with them.
Thai text needs a taller line than Latin to fit the vowels and tone marks above and below: a line height of 1.6 to 1.8 is a good start for paragraphs.

PairingSet the running text in Sarabun if it should keep the traditional loops, or in Anuphan for a quieter loopless face.
