Katatrad · Thanarat Vachiruckul · 2019
A modernist Thai-Latin sans-serif designed for continuous text, drawing on the classic TomLight and Cordia Thai typefaces in three weights with matching italics.
About
Designed by Thanarat Vachiruckul and released in September 2019, Panich prioritises legibility and neutrality across both Thai and Latin scripts. The family spans three weights – ExtraLight, Regular and Bold – each with a corresponding italic, making it practical for editorial, corporate, packaging and digital applications. Its reference points in TomLight and Cordia give it a grounding in established Thai typographic convention while maintaining a contemporary, unobtrusive character.
Classification
A clean, upright sans-serif drawing on classic Thai typefaces TomLight and Cordia, designed for continuous text setting across Latin and Thai scripts. Its modernist clarity and open forms place it within the humanist sans tradition.
