## 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 it 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.

## Things to know

- **Ten static files**: Each weight and italic is its own TTF. There is no variable version in the package.
- **Range ends at Bold 700**: The lightest style is Light 300 and the heaviest is Bold 700; there is no Thin or Black.
- **No Cyrillic or Greek**: Subsets are Latin, extended Latin, Thai and Vietnamese.
