What DB Heavent Rounded is
DB Heavent Rounded is the soft, round-terminal cut of DB (Dear Book)‘s Heavent workhorse family, shipping 14 styles that add condensed and italic options to a friendly rounded skeleton. It keeps Heavent’s efficient proportions but softens every stroke end.
The DB catalogue introduces it with the joke “ไม่ต้องศัลยกรรม หน้ามนเป็นธรรมชาติ” — “no surgery needed, naturally round face” — which sums up the design: Heavent’s practicality with rounded terminals for a warmer tone. It is a sibling to the widely used DB Heavent, one of the foundry’s most popular 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 Heavent Rounded takes Heavent’s compact, space-efficient letterforms and rounds the stroke terminals, producing a friendly, approachable sans that still packs tightly into small UI and signage. The condensed cuts keep the family economical with horizontal space.
Consonants like ก, ถ, and ภ carry Heavent’s efficient structure but with softened ends that read gentler and more casual. The Black cut gives strong presence for headlines; the condensed cuts hold long labels to a measure. Both Thai ก-ฮ and Latin A-Z are covered.
The tone is warm and practical — a workhorse sans that feels friendly rather than corporate.
Weights and availability
DB Heavent Rounded ships 14 styles — Condensed, Medium Condensed, and Bold Condensed, plus Regular, Medium, Bold, and Black, each with italics. Licence it from the DB Font catalogue as a desktop font or per web-font domain; it is also offered in a multi-family bundle.
The font is commercial and not distributed free. Its condensed cuts make it well suited to dense, space-constrained layouts.
Best use cases
DB Heavent Rounded suits friendly interfaces, signage, and information design that needs a soft but efficient Thai sans. Strong briefs:
- App and web UI wanting a warm, rounded tone
- Signage and wayfinding where condensed cuts save space
- Children’s, education, and healthcare communications
- Infographics and dense label layouts
- Bilingual Thai/English interface and print work
Where it doesn’t fit: formal corporate identity where sharpness is wanted, and open-licence projects — use DB Heavent or Itim there.
Pairings
DB Heavent Rounded pairs with its own sharper sibling or a calm body sans. Three pairings:
- DB Heavent — the non-rounded Heavent for sharper contexts in the same system
- Sarabun — open-licensed Thai body sans for long text
- Itim — an open-licensed casual Thai face for playful accents

DB Heavent Rounded is commercial proprietary software from DB (Dear Book), licensed per-user, per-application, or per web-font domain. Redistribution needs separate terms.
