About Kodchasan

Kodchasan is a sans serif family for the Thai and Latin scripts whose shapes come from the way teenagers write. The specimen shows strokes of even thickness with rounded ends, wide circular bowls and several letters that break from the usual printed forms: the capital A is an arch with a crossbar, M and N are built from round shoulders, Y takes the shape of a large lowercase y and z ends in a small curl. That informality is deliberate; the official notes point the family at content for adolescents. Kodchasan runs through six weights, ExtraLight, Light, Regular, Medium, SemiBold and Bold, and every weight has an italic, which makes 12 styles. The fonts hold 774 glyphs and cover Thai, Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese. Cadson Demak is credited with the design.

Where Kodchasan works

Youth brands and campaigns

Letterforms taken from teenage handwriting match the audience the family was drawn for.

Thai and English in one layout

Both scripts share the same round, even strokes, so a Thai headline and its English line look like one voice.

App screens with a casual tone

Six weights and matching italics give enough steps for titles, labels and emphasis in a chat or lifestyle app.

Stationery and school materials

The arched A and curled z keep worksheets, planners and covers informal without being scrawled.

Short social posts

ExtraLight at large size and Bold for a keyword contrast clearly in a quote card.
