Designed by Thanarat Vachiruckul, Omsin takes its name from the Thai word for 'saving', reflecting its space-efficient condensed proportions. Ink trap-inspired openings in the negative space aid legibility at small sizes without sacrificing the warm, hand-influenced quality of its loop terminals. Available in Light and Regular, it covers both Thai and Latin scripts.
