What DB Bunjerd is
DB Bunjerd is a versatile everyday Thai sans-serif from DB (Dear Book), shipping ten styles from Light to Heavy with matching italics for confident, flexible layout work. It is one of the foundry’s general-purpose workhorses rather than a single-trick display face.
The Thai name (ดีบี บรรเจิด) plays on slang for “brilliant” or “splendid” — the catalogue line jokes that where people once said “เจ๋ง” or “จ๊าบ,” now it is “บรรเจิด” again. It sits alongside DB Heavent in the tier of dependable DB sans families.
DB (Dear Book), founded by Parinya Rojarayanond, is credited as Thailand’s first digital type foundry, established in the late 1980s.
Character design and tone
DB Bunjerd is drawn on a clean contemporary sans skeleton with a broad Light-to-Heavy range, so it works for both body-adjacent text and confident headlines. The Heavy cut in particular gives it strong display presence.
Consonants like ก, ถ, and ภ are drawn with even, modern strokes and clear structure across the ladder. The lighter weights stay readable at smaller sizes; the Bold and Heavy cuts carry posters and packaging. Both Thai ก-ฮ and Latin A-Z are covered, so bilingual layouts stay consistent.
The tone is confident and general-purpose — a face that reads modern without demanding attention.
Weights and availability
DB Bunjerd ships ten styles — Light, Regular, Medium, Bold, and Heavy, each with an italic. Licence it from the DB Font catalogue as a desktop font or inside DB Font Vol. 8.
The font is commercial and not distributed free. Its range makes it usable across a whole layout, from subheads to headlines.
Best use cases
DB Bunjerd suits general branding and layout work that wants one dependable Thai sans across weights. Strong briefs:
- Corporate and commercial branding needing a flexible sans
- Editorial subheads and headlines
- Packaging and retail signage in the heavier cuts
- Bilingual Thai/English marketing layouts
- Presentation and report display type
Where it doesn’t fit: dense long-form body text, and open-licence projects — use Kanit or KoHo there.
Pairings
DB Bunjerd handles headlines and subheads; pair it with a calmer body face. Three pairings:
- DB Heavent — a compact DB workhorse for dense body text
- Sarabun — open-licensed Thai body sans for long copy
- Prompt — a geometric Thai sans for a firmer display alternative
Licensing
DB Bunjerd is commercial proprietary software from DB (Dear Book), licensed per-user, per-application, or per web-font domain. Redistribution needs separate terms. Confirm pricing on the DB Font catalogue page. For open-licensed Thai sans alternatives, see Kanit and the font directory.
