About IBM Plex Sans Thai Looped

IBM Plex Sans Thai Looped is a sans serif family that adds Thai script to IBM Plex, the typeface IBM uses as its corporate face and maintains as an open-source project. The official notes describe Plex as a neutral yet friendly grotesque with engineered details; the Latin letters in the specimen show such details in the flagged i and the curved foot of the l. As the name states, this member carries the looped style of Thai letters. The family comes as seven static files, Thin, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold, without italics and without a variable version. Each holds 519 glyphs covering Thai and the basic Latin set. It is credited to Mike Abbink and Bold Monday and published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where IBM Plex Sans Thai Looped works

Thai-language interfaces

Seven weights from Thin to Bold give labels, buttons and headings in Thai the same steps of emphasis.

Reading text in Thai

This is the looped member of the family, the style its name sets apart for Thai text.

Products already set in IBM Plex

Thai pages stay within the Plex family alongside IBM Plex Sans, Serif and Mono used for other content.

Mixed Thai and English copy

Basic Latin letters, figures and punctuation are in the same files, so English words inside Thai text need no second font.
