Loopless Thai fonts

11 families with simplified Thai letters and no loops, the modern style of headlines, branding and app interfaces.

Loopless Thai letters drop the small circles that traditionally start a stroke, which leaves simpler shapes that sit closer to a Latin sans serif. The style grew out of advertising and headline lettering, and it is now everywhere in branding, packaging and app interfaces, where it reads as clean and current.

This collection holds 11 families: sturdy headline faces such as Kanit, Prompt and Mitr, quieter text faces such as Anuphan, IBM Plex Sans Thai and Noto Sans Thai, the brush styles Sriracha and Pattaya, and the high-contrast poster face Chonburi. Loopless text is easy for most adults to read, but children and people still learning Thai often find looped letters easier to tell apart, which is why school material and official documents stay looped. A common approach is loopless for headings and interface labels and looped for long text.

Questions people ask

Can I use a loopless font for body text?

Yes, especially on screens. Pick a face drawn for text rather than headlines, such as Anuphan, Noto Sans Thai or IBM Plex Sans Thai, and give it a line height of about 1.6 or more. For readers who are learning Thai, a looped face is the kinder choice.

Is there one design in both a looped and a loopless version?

Two families come in matched pairs: Noto Sans Thai with Noto Sans Thai Looped, and IBM Plex Sans Thai with IBM Plex Sans Thai Looped. Each pair shares its weights and proportions, so the two can share a page.
