About K2D

K2D is a sans serif family covering the Thai and Latin scripts. Its Thai letters keep the small loops of traditional Thai writing while the overall drawing is modern, as the official description puts it. In the specimen the Latin is monoline, with rounds squared off at the sides in D, O and 0, a double-storey a, and stroke ends that bend slightly at the feet of A and K. The family comes as 16 static files: eight weights from Thin 100 to ExtraBold 800, each with an italic. It is not a variable font. The fonts hold 772 glyphs across Thai, Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets. The record credits Cadson Demak; the font's name table lists Katatrad Aksorn Co., Ltd. as designer and Cadson Demak Co., Ltd. as manufacturer.

Where K2D works

Thai and Latin interfaces

Thai and Latin share the same eight weights, so menus and labels keep one visual weight when the language switches.

Bilingual brand systems

Thin to ExtraBold with italics gives one family enough range for a logo line, headings and small print in two scripts.

Running text with emphasis

Every weight has its own italic file, so emphasis in Regular or Light text does not rely on a slanted fake.

Vietnamese and Central European copy

The Latin side includes the letters for Vietnamese, Polish, Czech and Turkish alongside Thai.

Writing systems with glyphs in the family besides Latin: Thai. These are listed as scripts, not as a promise for every language written in them.

Character sets found in the files: latin, latin-ext, thai, vietnamese. The language list is a check of required letters against the font, not a promise of typographic quality in each language.

Use K2D on the web

Download the family and host the files on your own site, then declare them in CSS. Please do not link to the files on trendhub.net: preview files here are subsets and their addresses change.

Things to know

Sixteen static files, no variable font

K2D ships as separate files per style. There is no variable version in the package.

The heaviest weight is ExtraBold 800

The range runs from 100 to 800; there is no Black 900.

Looped Thai

The Thai letters keep their traditional loops; K2D is not a loopless Thai design.
