Lobster is one of the most popular web fonts, designed by Pablo Impallari.
|
||
|
Pattaya is a version of Lobster extended into Thai, and supports Latin and all variations of the Thai script with an informal loopless design.
|
||
|
However, vertical metrics (that effect line-spacing) had to be adjusted in order to support Thai vowels and tone marks, so this is published as a separate family.

A similarity between some glyphs such as ก ถ ภ ฤ ฦ, ฎ and ฏ, บ and ป, or ข and ช is something to take into consideration because it might lead to confusion when typesetting very short texts.
|

|
Pattaya has a specific approach to the thick and thin strokes of Thai glyphs.
|
||
|
Other type designers of Thai fonts may like to use this approach as a reference.
|
||
|
Informal loopless Thai tyefaces have slightly simplified details, as compared to formal ones, and this simplification has to be done properly in order to preserve the character of each glyph.
|
||
|
The size and position of Thai vowel and tone marks need to be managed carefully, because they are all relevant to readability, legibility, and overall texture.
