Pridi means “joyful” in Thai.
|
|
Pridi is a slab serif Latin and looped Thai typeface that is well-suited for both body text and display.
|
|
The looped Terminal Thai is designed specifically within loopless terminal concepts, and works well with the slab serif Latin without adding any slabs to any Thai glyphs.
|
|
This font can be used as a body text in various media such as magazines, advertisements, and other print media.

|
A similarity between some glyphs such as ก ถ ภ ฤ ฦ, ฎ ฏ, บ ป, and ข ช is something to take into consideration because it might lead to confusion when typesetting very short texts.
|
|
Pridi 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 looped Thai typefaces have slightly simplified details, as compared to formal ones, and this allows designers to extend the font to heavier weights.
|
|
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.
