About Kantumruy Pro

Kantumruy Pro is a sans serif family for the Khmer script with a matching Latin. It is a redrawing of the first Kantumruy, which the official notes describe as a modern Khmer display face used for visual identities by brands and non-profit organisations in Cambodia. The Pro version keeps that direction but changes the vertical metrics and proportions, revises some letterforms and adds an italic set. Its Latin comes from Work Sans, with width and weight adjusted; in the specimen it reads as an even, open grotesque. The family is a variable font with a weight axis from 100 to 700, giving seven named weights from Thin to Bold, each with an italic, 14 styles in all. There are 532 glyphs across the Khmer and Latin subsets. Kantumruy Pro is published under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Kantumruy Pro works

Cambodian brand identities

The first Kantumruy was taken up for visual identities in Cambodia, and the Pro version adds seven weights and italics to that role.

Khmer and English websites

Khmer and a Latin drawn from Work Sans sit in one family, so bilingual pages keep a single voice.

Headings with fine weight control

The 100 to 700 axis lets a title be set at any weight between Thin and Bold.

App and product interfaces

Medium and SemiBold for labels with Light or Regular for supporting text give an interface hierarchy from one file.

Reports and NGO publications

Italics, absent from the first Kantumruy, allow emphasis and citations in longer Khmer and Latin documents.
