Maitree

A looped Thai with a slab-serif Latin, drawn for comfortable reading. Its strokes are low in contrast and its serifs are blunt, so it holds up at small sizes and on modest screens. A good choice for long articles and books.

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.

PairingKanit is a loopless partner for headings or interface text, and Sarabun adds a looped sans if long text needs a second voice.
