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. For free looped text faces beyond the Google Fonts families, see CS PraJad (CC BY 4.0, four styles) and JS Jindara (GPL version 2).
