About Chonburi

Chonburi is a display typeface that joins a Thai alphabet in the formal looped style to a Latin serif. The Latin letters are broad and dark: thick vertical stems meet hairline-thin horizontals and serifs, round letters such as O and C are nearly circular, and the lowercase is large and closely spaced. Teardrop terminals on a, c and r and a curled tail on Q add to the ornate tone. The family consists of one Regular font, heavy in appearance despite its name, and is not a variable font. Its 757 glyphs cover Thai, Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. The Thai foundry Cadson Demak leads the project and is the credited designer; the name table gives no individual name. Chonburi is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, and the official description presents it as a face for display use.

Where Chonburi works

Thai and English headlines

The looped Thai and the Latin serif share one heavy weight, so a bilingual headline holds together.

Magazine covers

Hairline serifs against thick stems give a masthead or cover line strong contrast at large sizes.

Exhibition and event posters

Broad, dark capitals carry a title across a poster without extra weight or outline.

Wordmarks for shops and restaurants

A short name in Chonburi gains an ornate, formal character from the teardrop terminals.

Horizontals and serifs are very fine compared with the stems, which is why the face is intended for display sizes.
