About Chakra Petch

Chakra Petch is a square sans serif family for the Thai and Latin scripts. Round letters such as O, C and e are drawn as rectangles, and where a curve would turn a corner the outline is clipped diagonally, most visibly in the a, the g and the numerals of the specimen. Stroke weight is even throughout and the lowercase is tall. The official description says the Thai side keeps traditional looped letterforms. The family has five weights, Light 300, Regular 400, Medium 500, SemiBold 600 and Bold 700, each paired with an italic, in ten static files; it is not a variable font. Its 773 glyphs span Latin, extended Latin, Thai and Vietnamese subsets. Google Fonts credits Cadson Demak, while the name table lists Katatrad Aksorn as designer. Chakra Petch was added to Google Fonts in 2018 and is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Chakra Petch works

Dashboards and control panels

Rectangular letters and clipped corners line up with boxed layouts, and squared numerals read like instrument figures.

Thai and English products

Thai and Latin share one design, so a bilingual interface keeps the same angular character in both scripts.

Titles for games and tech events

SemiBold and Bold give the square shapes enough mass for a title screen or banner.

Labels and specifications

Light and Regular with their italics handle captions, units and secondary notes beside heavier headings.
