Two Linotype Thai designs released in OpenType: Sirichana and Sukothai
Linotype is proud to announce the re-rerelease of two classic Thai typefaces: Sirichana and Sukothai. As fully functioning OpenType fonts, these designs are now ready for contemporary use! These two typefaces may be used together or separately. As a pair, they complement each other well – one is up-to-date in its appearance, while the other is old fashioned, but with style. Using these two designs together is similar to mixing a great sans and serif face.
