Looped Thai Fonts
Looped Thai fonts keep the head loop on consonants — the traditional letterform Thai readers learn first, and the reason looped faces remain the default for government documents, textbooks, and long-form body text. The loop is the single clearest split in Thai type: it reads as formal, familiar, and institutional, where loopless faces read as contemporary and brand-led. Every font below states its loop classification on its own page. Learn the distinction in the Thai typography guide.
