About Sriracha

Sriracha is a handwriting typeface that covers Thai and Latin. The Latin letters lean to the right and are drawn with heavy, low-contrast strokes whose ends are blunt and slightly uneven, like quick writing with a marker; the letters stay separate instead of joining. The Thai part is described in the official notes as loopless and sans serif in structure. Two stylistic sets supply alternate glyph designs, and OpenType features substitute forms so that text looks written by hand; the notes thank Pablo Impallari for the first version of that feature. The family consists of one Regular style and is not a variable font. It holds 927 glyphs for the Thai, Latin, Latin Extended and Vietnamese character sets. Cadson Demak leads the project, the font's name table credits Suppakit Chalermlarp as designer, and the license is the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

Where Sriracha works

Food packaging and menus

Thick, slanted marker strokes give a product name or a dish list the look of a handwritten label.

Thai and English headings

Thai and Latin are drawn in one hand, so a bilingual sign or banner keeps a single voice.

Quotes for social media

The contextual OpenType features vary letterforms within a phrase, which keeps a short quote from looking typeset.

Informal event posters

The heavy stroke holds up at large sizes for market, school or festival announcements.

Suggestions come from simple rules on the records: a contrasting classification and enough weights to carry body text. They are a starting point, not a verdict.

Use Sriracha 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.

@font-face {
  font-family: "Sriracha";
  src: url("/assets/fonts/Sriracha-Regular.ttf") format("truetype");
  font-weight: 400;
  font-style: normal;
  font-display: swap;
}

body {
  font-family: "Sriracha", cursive;
}

Or load it from the official source. Google Fonts serves Sriracha with this markup:

Things to know

One weight

Sriracha comes as a single Regular style, already slanted. There is no separate bold or upright.

Loopless Thai

The Thai letters omit the small loops of traditional Thai text faces, a choice stated in the official notes.

Alternates need OpenType support

The two stylistic sets and the handwriting feature only work in software that applies OpenType features.
