TYPE DESIGN

Ratchanon Boongsrithong – Sahn

by Ratchanon Boongsrithong

Sahn is a solemn yet flavorful typeface designed to expand the possibilities within the Thai loop typeface family. In this project, both Thai and Latin scripts were developed simultaneously. Features from one script can influence and be integrated into the other, creating a cohesive visual language. While the Thai script may appear very different from Latin, both scripts share a similar repertoire of shapes; although they are disconnected, they seek moments of connection. Sahn aims to foster a dialogue between the two scripts by highlighting their commonalities in terms of tone and texture, while honouring their unique cultural differences.
